Ghent



On our second day after going to The Atomium we got the metro back to Brussels Midi Station and got the train to Ghent. The train took 28 minutes.



We walked to the centre








€5 Belgian waffle with ice cream. I got pistachio ice cream and Jo got speculoos. It was nice but the waffle wasn't heated long enough.













The inside of this cathedral was freezing. Was colder inside that it was outside. Could see your breath!











Very similar architecture to Amsterdam. 







We stopped off at Maccies for an ice cream - €2.20








The pubs along here were really busy as there was football and rugby on and the weather was actually nice.











We had to try Belgium fries and this place was super busy. This was €5 and you got a choice of 2 dips - we got tomato sauce and house mayo.

They were really salty. Chips/fries really aren't my thing but I had to try them. We were going to go more adventurous and get one of the specials but we didn't know if we would like it so played it safe.


Poke bowls from Hawaiian Poke. We actually had these before the ones we had in Brussels but the posts are backwards.

I got pretty much the exact same - just tuna instead of salmon as they ran out of salmon!


Medium - Base - Sushi rice
5 mix ins - Avocado, corn, mango, seaweed salad & cucumber
Protein - Tuna
3 toppings - Nachos, pickled ginger & sesame mix - €14.95


Jo got:

Medium - Base - Sushi rice
5 mix ins - Avocado, corn, mango, seaweed salad & cucumber
Protein - Steak
3 toppings - Crispy onion, pickled ginger & wasabi peas
Dressing - sweet chilli






Was a nice little trip to Ghent which was a lot more successful than to Bruges. We there for a few hours and it was enough time. We got the 7:03pm train and made it back to the hotel for just after 8pm. 

There's a castle which I didn't realise till I wrote this post which would have been good to see!

This is finally the end of the Brussels trip with Jo from the end of February. Very much ready for the next holiday...
