 Athina and Doda bought this house last summer, as reported in this blog, for 2.4 million euros. It is in Oud-Turnhout, which is a suburb of Antwerp. The house is situated in the residential district of Oud-Turnhout known as Lint. Athina and Doda will simply move north from their old home in Fleurus, which is near Brussels. This new location puts them a bit closer to their "AD" stables in Valkenswaard, Netherlands. Athina and Doda might want to brush up on Flemish, which is dominant in this part of Belgium, whereas the Brussels area is more French. But according to the Belgian "Standard" (Standaard) newspaper, yesterday there was a fire @ the house. Athina and Doda have not actually moved in yet, as the house is still being renovated with necessary security systems. But in any case, yesterday's fire was quickly extinguished and everything seems to be fine. Tomorrow Athina turns 26. She and Doda are now jumping in Zurich, Switzerland. 


P.S. A later report from Greece dated 13 FEB 2011 (and erroneously referring to "yesterday's" fire mentions that the fire started in the kitchens and was rooted in the electrical circuiting.
