I kept seeing these trams bound for "Moscou" and kept thinking "MoscoW" for some reason

Rows and rows of designer glasses

There seemed to be quite a few Brompton bikes in Ghent

This was our "regular" breakfast spot - they do organic croissants and organic coffee

Artwork next to the canal

Crossing a canal on a wooden bridge

There was quite a bit of rain on Sunday - I like the "Apple" logo

This must have been a more "upmarket" boat trip as they had champagne

CocoCola ready for the Ghent Festival

Graffiti next to the canal

Shoes thrown over a wire

Iconic canal frontage buildings

Rainy - a tram goes past the "meathouse"

Imacs in the hotel lobby - luckily there was free wifi in the rooms (limited to 1MB/s) so I did not have to use so much roaming data (it's £3 per 100mb bundle with EE payg so about over twice the cost per mb compared with browsing at home)

One of the few modern buildings in central Ghent

Boat Trip - it started to pour just as the boat departed so the next 15 minutes was spent sheltering under a bridge!

the boat trip resumes

People watch our boat pass under a bridge

Canalside buildings

The "bierhuis" - they have about 150 different beers!

Canalside buildings

The boat turns around here - this is the edge of the "old town" and there are high rise blocks at the edge of Ghent

A Michelin starred restaurant featuring lobster

Outside the Meathouse (again)

The castle at sunset

The "bellfort" tower at sunset

Not sure what this was for - a warning not to sit under palm trees?

A modern building near the Bellfort tower

View from the hotel room - the church bell rang for about 15 minutes at 7am every morning so no lie-ins!

The basement of the hotel

A vital delivery service for the city

Bells in the belltower

This mechanism played a short tune on bells every 30 minutes - as the hotel was next to the bell tower I ended up hearing the same melody many many times!

A zebra

View from the belltower - almost all the tall buildings were at the edge of the city instead of in the middle, apart from the church towers.

A tram stop and ticket machine - 1,30 EU is all it costs for a ticket so good value

Snorting sculpture

We walked to the "trappisthuis" to find trappist beers but it was closed. This was en-route there
