Part 5/10:
After a restful night, our next adventure was a train ride to Ghent, where we began the day at Labath café, enjoying a traditional breakfast of boiled eggs and soldiers. Following breakfast, we embarked on a scenic canal cruise that offered breathtaking views of Ghent’s historic architecture and landmarks. Our guide enriched the experience by pointing out various significant sights, including the iconic three towers: Saint Nicholas Church, Belfry Tower, and Saint Bavo’s Cathedral.
Lunch at Alice, a charming brunch spot, further quelled our hunger, and we savored warm toast with brie, honey, and walnuts. With energy renewed, we wandered to Gravensteen Castle, a medieval fortress steeped in history, and Graffiti Street, where vibrant street art came alive.
