Belgian excursion - Ghent

 Rhods and I slipped away for a few days in Belgium this week. It was a 'just because we can' type of trip, and because I needed to use up some vacation days from 2024 before the end of March.  We had a delightful trip starting out from our local bus stop, and then taking the train all the way to Ghent for our first night.  We stayed at "1898 The Post" hotel which was amazing.

We had such a brilliant time exploring Ghent, and we even made our way to a sort of weird jazz club in the evening which was very entertaining.  Obviously we had several different Belgian white ales that we sampled throughout the visit, which was a lovely component!

On Thursday we spent most of the day exploring Ghent although we got rained out of the bicycle tour we were going to do.. Still, Rhodri managed to find the one massive outdoor clothing shop in the city so we spent a couple of hours here so he could "do research". It was in a gorgeous art deco building though!

We stayed Thursday night also in Ghent, and left this (Friday) morning after breakfast to travel to Bruges.
