Beach Walk to start the day then a Day in Ghent

Whilst Louise and Freya had a slower morning, I rose with the sun and went out on a beach walk, just below the apartment.  It was a stunning day.  An Ironman competition was happening which I watched for a bit, took a stroll along the pier and enjoyed the view. 

Lily joined us for the day which was lovely to be able to spend time with her too.

Ghent is similar to Bruge but still with its own identity, beautiful buildings and river running through and so much history.  And of course loads of chocolate and waffle shops!

We caught a tram from the train station to get to the centre of Ghent, some how we managed to get on and return for free which was a bonus. 

Off on a boat trip down the river Leie

This tiny building with the blue door, squeezed in between the others was the old tax office.
