Bianca and I left Rotterdam around 11:00 to drive to Gent, in Belgium. A two hour journey.
We spend the whole day there exploring the city, wich is beautiful, and enjoying the good food and drinks that Belgium has to offer.
Just over the border we had lunch at a gas station. I love Belgium, even in the most simple place they have good food.
We got to the hotel and left straight away to explore the city. We got about 5 minutes into exploring when we came across an ice-cream stall. They had Passionfruit Icecream. The real deal, not that fake artificial stuff you get from the supermarket. It was delicious.
The city in the daytime was fantastic, even though is was clouwdy and very windy.
I like to try the best produce a city has to offer. So I look for stores where they sell good products. I go in and ask for the best thing they have. In this case. Ham and Cheese. We then search for a place to enjoy it.
We explored some more and went back to the hotel to relax for a bit after all the walking. When we hit the city again a couple of hours later to have dinner the sky had changed to blue and the light was marvellous. Such beauty.
What I like about Belgians so much and what we Dutch lack is enjoyment of good food and taking the time to enjoy it. Dutch people always feel the need to rush and be efficient. The people here are all eating good food till 23:00 and all the places are packed.
I found this quote on a menu in a bar. I don't know if it's true but I want it too be true :)
A video a made in the best location in the city.
