Ahhhhhh Belgium! So many reasons to visit this beautiful country.
Picturesque cottages. Quirky Cobblestone streets. Beer. (REALLY AMAZING BEER) Art. Chocolate. (REALLY AMAZING CHOCOLATE) Swans. Misty canals. Moules Frites. Medieval churches. Waterzooi. More beer. More beer. More beer.
I chose Belgium for OPERATION: DECOMPRESS VIA ALL OF THE BEER.
The old Monastery conversion we stayed at in Ghent was absolutely stunning!
And the historic town centre itself is incredible.
Sint-Michielskerk glowing at night…
Graffiti tunnel…
Had a beautiful dinner at De Graslei where I ordered the very traditional Flanders dish “Waterzooi”
It was SO YUMMY.
All the walking around in the freezing rain made us VERY thirsty. So we spent a lovely evening sampling (pouring beers directly into our faces) a few of the 250 beers on offer at Pub ‘de Dulle Griet’
If you want to drink the gigantic “Max” beer, you must hand over one of your shoes. It goes in the basket, the bell is rung, your shoe is lifted high to the ceiling and here comes your beer!
And then you drink the rest of the beers…
ALL THE BEER! Up next…The Design Museum Exhibit Lightopia and WAFFLES!
