Ghent by night

CBC and I decided to make an impromptu vacation to Belgium last week.  It all began about a week and a half ago when I said it would be lovely to return to Bruges, the scene of our almost engagement, to the lovely Huis Kunig, a lovely B&B we stayed in back in 2012.

CBC then decided it would be fun to go and watch one of two famous cycling races, either the Tour of Flanders or the Paris-Roubaix and so we decided to plan our short break round the second one of these since we would be at my Dad's during the first one.

On Tuesday, we still hadn't booked anything and then CBC got onto some websites and booked us a B&B in Ghent for 2 days and then one in Tournai.

It took us about 4 hours 30mins to get to Ghent from home.  We arrived at our lovely B&B (via Air BnB) and then headed out to dinner. We went to Meme Guste for dinner (traditional Ghentian fare according to our host) and then decided to walk around Ghent.

I would say it was a very pleasant, clean and safe city to walk around at night from what we found and we saw some really pretty buildings by night.

Here are a few that we saw...
