Ghent

My friends from Manchester came to visit me in Brussels this weekend, and it was so good to be around not only English speaking people, but the accent as well, which made me feel like I was back home. I was struggling to find things for us to do in Brussels, as there it isn't that big, so decided to do a day trip to Ghent. 

The day trip turned into a 'couple of hours' trip, as the night before we had a few too many and getting out of bed the next morning, or afternoon, seemed impossible. Eventually, after a couple of hours of lying down and chatting we forced ourselves to get ready.

Once we arrived in Ghent, around 3pm, we wondered into the centre from the train station mapless and came across a beautiful park covered with golden leaves. We also stubbled across a sort of cave like tunnel, which gave the park a very eerie feel.

The sun set shortly as we arrived in the centre, and the next stop was waffles. I made a terrible choice to top mine with ice cream, and although it was freezing outside, it melted just as quick as it would in 40 degree heat. Next time i'll stick with Nutella.
