| Yes, I’m there. | And this is my locomotive. | |
 |
 |
|
| Oostende station. | Trawler museum. | |
 |
 |
|
| The Cathedral. | Not really sure. | |
 |
 |
|
| In memory of the Canadian fallen. | A memorial to those lost at sea? | |
 |
 |
|
| They do this sort of thing in Oostende | And I sort of like it. | |
 |
 |
|
| Wide view. | Next to the Cathedral. | |
 |
 |
|
| They love their bikes. | Belgian coaching stock. |
But with plenty of bikes
