A quick excursion to Belgium, as part of a school choir trip, this last week. EuroTunnel makes the journey very quick- at least it does when all is working well, which it wasn’t on the outward journey, necessitating a transfer onto the Dover-Calais ferry.

Ghent is a lovely compact city and very attractive- I have been before and it was rather gloomy weather, so that rather reflected the city- in the sunshine, it is rather nicer! Perhaps like Bruges but less touristy! We didn’t get to see much of Brussels other than an interesting Musical Instrument museum and the Cathedral, so perhaps enough sights remain to justify a long weekend on Eurostar at some point in the future.
