We say Ghent
 |
 |
|
| Standard I am here photo. | In front of the station, not sure either. | |
 |
 |
|
| The station. | Ghent has lots of water. | |
 |
 |
|
| Ghent has lots of history. | Ghent has a castle. | |
 |
 |
|
| And the flag tells you I am in Belgium. | Not sure about the link to the SAS. | |
 |
 |
|
| The roof. | I like flags. | |
 |
 |
|
| They like torture in Ghent. | They like a lot of torture in Ghent. | |
 |
 |
|
| And thrones. | A touch overcast. | |
 |
 |
|
| Ghent has trees. | And that’s your lot. |

A new floor
 |
 |
|
| Local lad, probably drinks Cantillon. | Brewery, museum and van. | |
 |
 |
|
| The bar and shop. | Where the wild yeast does its magic, nearly fully drained. | |
 |
 |
|
| And it drained into here. | Ingredients. | |
 |
 |
|
| Laying down a cellar. | The bottling line. | |
 |
 |
|
| No reason, just looks good. | See left. |
And filmed for Japanese TV

The car iPhone mount broken
 |
 |
|
| Bedwas and it’s early. | Plan B is the TomTom and a steamed up screen. | |
 |
 |
|
| The long stay and its sun up. | Just in case I forget. | |
 |
 |
|
| Not this time. | Not raining. | |
 |
 |
|
| Bit early but checked in online. | Post Chicken Tikka at Subway. | |
 |
 |
|
| Mainly an easyJet airport. | After a full search of my trainers and computer rucksack. | |
 |
 |
|
| Departures post rush hour. | Dealing with the delay. |
And the flight was an hour late.
