We decided to do another day here in Ghent. We started the day off with a delicious breakfast... These people know how to eat!! We ate lots because the plan was to rent a canoe and paddle the canals through the city. Unfortunately, this was not possible as you have to prebook a reservation, even when no one is using the canoes. Makes sense?? Mike was pretty bummed out and only a beer or three could cheer him up! Luckily they are a fraction the price they were in France and many beers are brewed in Belgium.
We spent an hour or so on the canal banks enjoying the sun and having some tea and beer! We then went and browsed the shops. Unfortunately I am considered a saskwatch here and can't find shoes to save my life and the shoes are so cheap!! We later checked into the Airbnb place we are staying at and it's still really cool medieval home. Some parts of it date back 500 years ago! Really nice girl who lives here, she wrote a guide book on the city.
Back into town we headed after checking in and it was off to the bierhouse. This establishment is seriously about beer...you have no other option for a drink, they only serve beer. Safe to say, Mike had found his happy place. Even I managed to find one I liked! Dinner was good and now resting. Tomorrow is going to be along day and we are planning on heading to Germany, hopefully to Nuremberg!! we are excitation start really doing things. We have enjoyed walking around all these new places but are getting a bit antsy to actually do activities, this may be from all of the amazing foods we have been sampling!
