Ghent and Bruges

Started the day with chocolate spread and croissant.

We braved the winds and showers to see beautiful Ghent and Bruges. Chazy was a sport and walked through most of Ghent, and as usual, impressed the tour guide with her art interpretations. Shown up by my big sister again :).

The church in Ghent dates from 970, and is still in beautiful shape. Many pictures of gorgeous art work, statuary and stained glass — my camera doesn’t do them justice, so I’ll spare you.

However, the shopping was tremendously interesting.

We let Chaz hang at La Pain Quotidian (a Belgian company, by the way) while we toured around. Behind us was the original fish market at the right with Poseidon, as we stand at the monument to the patron of Ghent.

Biggest decision of the day — lunch and which beer?

Windmills and sheep on the way home. Like a painting.

Addendum:

Perfect dinner at the hotel with my favorite aperitivo, Punt e Mes.FullSizeRender.jpg
