(DAY 5)

We had trouble deciding which city to visit after Ypres: Ghent, Bruges, or Antwerp. We picked Ghent because the little tourist pamphlet from the airport mentioned Ghent’s vegetarian restaurant guide map. (The veggie option on dinner menus in Belgium is usually limited to pasta– I’d already eaten 4-cheese penne (twice I think), spinach canneloni, and vegetarian spaghetti… ). So on Saturday morning, we checked out of our hotel and took a train to Ghent for a two-night stay.

Here are pictures of the train ride and a bit of wandering around the city.
