First of all, travel tip, dont use big bin bags. Small carrier bags are easier to get rid of when wild camping.

So here we are in Antwerp. We had just done a big clearout and there are no large bins around. We had an assortment of bags of recyclables and trash. We all got on our bikes with a bag or 2 of trash on each bikes handlebars. We new of 3 places with bins. We took off to these 3 destinations with a prearranged rendezvous point. As we took off in our 3 different directions we looked like a scene out of some bizarre old kids movie like goonies or something. I must state that Liz did not fare quite so good at the descreet part of the whole operation. I look back from the recycle bins I had just been using to see a guilty and distressed smile on Lizzy’s face as she desperately tried to shove her small bag into an even smaller hole in the park trash container. Well, I guess you had to be there.

We met the band, “the Dump Brothers”. They had their rehearsal outside our truck and taught Liz one of their songs and let her join in for the rehearsal.

We met the band, “the Dump Brothers”. They had their rehearsal outside our truck and taught Liz one of their songs and let her join in for the rehearsal. Way to go Lizzie after only 2 weeks of playing she is in a band.

More hanging out with the “Dump brothers” (and sister). TJ loved Charlie the baby.

Dump brothers (Oly and Saar) and friends outside their off grid house. Palo, the wild hungarian, showing Andrew how to make gulash.

We introduced smores to them.

We found some scrap wood that looked like shields so we painted them.

The pool and a low tech wave machine.

Everybody wanted a haircut just like Hannah’s haircut. Me and Paulo obliged.

Oly says they should try to look tough for the photo.

Saying goodbye before we go our separate ways.
