I went for a drive again...
 |
The first glimpses of Dunkirk early in the morning |
 |
Aboard the ferry, not many people |
 |
A handful of cars on this early run |
The first city that I visited on this trip.
Ghent, Belgium
 |
Gravensteen Castle |
 |
Typical Flemish architecture |
 |
Water canals are definitely a central theme of Ghent |
 |
Weather was certainly acting up. |
 |
Picturesque mix of old and modern. |
 |
Impressive murals and sculptures. |
 |
Nice Fiat Coupe |
 |
Stadt Huis or City Hall |
 |
Gravensteen Castle again, with people waiting for the tram right in front of it. |
 |
From an other angle |
 |
Last photo taken in Ghent |
Next up is
Brussels or Bruxelles if you're so inclined.
 |
Royal Library with a massive car park underneath. |
 |
Weather is still horrible but spirits are high, so all is good. |
 |
Belgian chocolate shop in the Royal Galleries. |
 |
Hand crafted toys. |
 |
The historic center of Brussels - the Grand Place or Grote Markt |
 |
Gilded buildings all around. |
 |
The Cathedral in Brussels |
 |
Palais Royal de Bruxelles - Residence of the Belgian King |
 |
Park opposite the palace. |
 |
Saint Jacques-sur-Coudenberg, a neoclassical church |
 |
Looking back towards the Grand Place |
