The decision to spend a couple of days at Ghent was a good one.
We spend the first day visiting some of the must-see sights but also just drinking in the atmosphere of this old town with its trams and street cafés. There are students, workers, mixed race couples, tourists, all styles of dress and a relaxed air, even though preparations for the upcoming festival are well under way. It's our kind of town and the perfect place to reflect on our trip.
The Belfry, symbolising the City's independence
There's a giant musical machine up there that plays every fifteen minutes.
Tower Bells: The Movie
We pop in the next day to have a trip on the river, a final Belgian Beer and a nice meal; then it's Goodbye Ghent.
Eurotunnel Tomorrow all being well...
