Sint Niklaas, Belgium - 13th September 2011

By: Toolakha

We are in Sint-Niklaas now. Toolakha's mum has been to a boarding school in Sint-Niklaas when she was a young girl. Two of her aunts were nuns at that time who were also staying in Sint Niklaas. So mum was curious to see if after all these years she could still recognize where she had stayed. So we walked in her footsteps of more than 50 years ago.

We first arrived at the Grote Markt where we had a good view on the town hall. And if we turned a little to the right we had a view on the Church of Saint Nicholas, the church hall and the Ciperage (former prison). We then walked towards the hospital where mum's aunt has been working. Then we walked to find the house of some friends of mum's family and finally we went into the parc where the Walburg Castle is situated. Mum used to go there to listen to the bell tower. It was interesting to see where Toolakha's mum had been to when she was a young girl.
