In the internet we downloaded already a walking tour in Ghent Which was provided by the tourist information .

due to the closure of the city center for the tram we only need to change the start-and finish place of the walk.




Due to the blocking of the inner city for the Public we only had to change the start and end point of the tour.

It was a different atmosphere: Department Stores, where to buy ordinary Belgians and plenty of space to walk and breathe ...



It was another atmosphere: Department stores where normal Belgian doing their shopping and much space to walk and to breath ...

Not like a clean, sterile atmosphere like in Bruges. Erotic pictures had nothing to do with pornography.




Not as a Mr. Clean image, as in Bruges. Erotic pictures have nothing to do with pornography.

somehow it pleased us better here.



Somehow we liked it better.

You could walk 50 m and more without seeing one chocolate store. Not every inch of a vacant front of a house must be changed to a chocolate store.




You could even run by 50 m or more, without running into a chocolate shop and not from every inch free home front had to make a business out of chocolate.

We felt much more comfortable here. May it was because it was not like an outdoor museum. It's a university city with many young people who enjoyed the life. This was somehow infectious to us.

You can see the same things so what you can see in Bruges.




And you could still see what you can see in Bruges.

Do you remember the tour boats in Bruges? In Gent, they are even decorated with flowers.



Remember the canal boats in Bruges? In Ghent they were all decorated with flowers.

Obviously you get some free drinks - or was it just a charter?




Apparently there is also a drink - or is it a private charter?

Does anyone remember the prices in Bruges? Here in Ghent, there is more for less ...

correct some cake for fans of organic bread and home made.

pepper and ground salt.



Pepper from the mill and milled salt. The red pepper soup

was made of true red peppers. And the mozzarella on whole-wheat bread made you full for little money. The white raddish was not dried out but juicy and fresh.




the pepper soup was probably made out of real peppers. And mozzarella sandwiches made on whole wheat bread enough for little money. The radish was not yet dry, but really crispy, juicy and fresh.

Here you could buy a DIY model of Titanic. They did not have to OASIS OF THE SEAS. But Bruno did not allow the purchase because he refused to carry it or to finance for additional extension of our house.



In this model shop I could have bought for 300 EUR a self-kit of the Titanic. An OASIS OF THE SEAS did not exist. Bruno, however, had previously banned because he refused to carry it or to fund an extension of the house.

But the historical model of a ship SeaLink he has forbidden ...



The purchase of an historic model of a ship-SeaLink he prohibited too.

What You Can Do with this spider-web I let your phantasy decide ... Whatfor I knew I would use it ....




What you can take advantage of it was left to your imagination itself ... I'd know what ... The

were kind of flowers in the city much better mood.



They had a nicer relationship to flowers in this city.





Bruno has discovered a coffee shop. I wanted him to get a coffee grinder as Hotzenplotz robber, but he would rather have a coffee machine that costs as much as a cruise. I told him to leave the decision whether to ride the next time I or a single-cruise search ....



Bruno discovered a coffee store. I was willing to buy him a manual coffee mill like in old fairy tale books but he wanted to have a coffee machine Which costed as much as a cruise. I let him choose to come with me on a cruise again or if I better look for a single-cruise.









What I like about Gent particularly well: it could be many architectural styles next to each other without disturbing it worked. Therefore, it was not so monotonous as in Bruges.



What I liked very much with Ghent: there could be many different styles of architecture next to each other without bad influence to each other. That's maybe why it was not as monotonous as in Bruges.





Can you picture out Belgium with French Fries (wondering why they are calling French Fries and not correctly Belgian Fries). They were here since 1898th



What would be Belgium without its fries. They do exist here since 1898.

And that has really historical.



Looked very historical to me.





And the scent of fresh herbs right in the pedestrian zone.

Only the tourist office is in hiding and discreetly on the back, as not to disturb the view.



Only the tourist information itself was somehow discretely hidden at the back side of the building.





only at the moment there is a problem that just the reconstruction work in the summer of 2010, the main boulevard makes quite inaccessible. It is still worth to go. Of Zeebrugge is about 30-45 minutes longer by train from the station and another 15 minutes by tram.



Currently there was the problem that the construction work in the main walking mile made it difficult to walk along until summer 2010th It was worth to go for 30-45 more from Zeebrugge and additionally 15 minutes from the train station.





Ghent remembered me to Heidelberg, Tübingen, etc.: Cities with a traditional university and many young people who celebrate their single-fare-well party like here.



Gent took me to Heidelberg, Tübingen recalls, etc.: cities with a traditional university and many young people die z. B. so ihren Junggesellenabschied feiern.
