| Ghent, Belgium |
Known as Gent in Flemish and Gand in French, Ghent is a warm and charming medieval canal city. Just what I had imagined and hoped for. It's a real town that enjoys tourists but does not bend to tourists...that's what our taxi driver told us. And, I agree and love that about this city. Everyone was so kind. We met some really cool people. It was super funky and full of life without being overwhelming. Unfortunately, because of the cool weather we missed the famous Belgian mussels which we were super bummed about but we were not disappointed with the local beers and pastries!
I loved this place and this part of Europe.
Can't wait to return one day!!
