After office hours? I don’t think so! Shops in Europe are notorious for closing down at 6pm. And in Geneva, shops are closed on Sundays as well :(

i see.. i am not sure if I will have time to roam around. I think i can only do it on Sunday afternoon as I have to go to our office there on weekdays. Leaving in Saturday early morning so i think my chance to do so will only be on Sunday.. Unless I can still go out after office hours :)

Jen: There’s a small shop selling chocolates right across the hotel. Sorry, I didn’t notice where the train station was bec someone drove us from Amsterdam to Turnhout. (Then later on from Turnhout to Antwerp.) I warn you: Turnhout is a very small town. How about Brugge/Bruges? No plans to stopover there? :)

Thanks for the response :) i will be leaving this weekend and I hope I can find nice shops near the hotel to buy pasalubongs :P will it be near any train station or bus stops? I am planning to have a quick stop either at Antwerpen or Brussels right after I check-in on Sunday lunchtime..

So helpful, thanks a lot!

Jen: Turnhout is a very small town. The town’s church, restaurants and shops are about 3 minutes’ walk from Ter Driezen. There’s a chocolate shop across the hotel. There is a small castle nearby but I’m not sure if it’s open to the public; we only took photos from the outside. But one week in a very small town…. Good luck! *grin*

haha, true true. and considering it’s in a “probinsiya” in belgium, that amount does sound a little above average. but for the size of the room, sulit pa rin! :)

sinta: and the older they are, the more charming i find them!

avril: glad you like them.

sheng: yes, we were happy with that hotel. too bad it was just for a night.

mai: i suppose the rate is good by european standards. but by the time we start converting to our local currencies…. hehe

frugal expat: welcome! glad you’re enjoying your first visit. hope to see you more often and see more of your comments :)
