I'm finally getting round to posting about our visit to Bokrijk. Bokrijk is an open air museum where historic buildings have been rebuilt. Everything is authentic (furniture, tools etc.) and actors make the village come to life. It brings you back to the way things were around 1900.
There are a lot of schools that plan excursions to this museum, but I guess mine wasn't one of them since I had never been there before. We really liked it! It was very interesting. I only wish I had thought about bringing flat shoes. Walking several miles on cobblestones on your heels (even small ones) is not to be recommended.
This was my personal favorite: seeing the kids dressed up in 19th century clothing...
complete with "klompen"!
Ah, the perfect solution for tired little feet: a "bolderkar" (I have no idea what these are called in English).
Wish I could fit in there ;)

It looks so interesting there, and it's great that they get the kids into character too ~ it makes history come alive for them.
