We started our second day in Ghent by visiting Gravensteen or “Castle of the Counts”.
Just when you’ve fallen completely in love with everything medieval– the stonework, the hundreds of spiraling steps, the arched windows, turrets, stained glass… just when you start thinking, Oh I wish I could’ve lived back then! Maybe I should take up archery?… Bam, there it is: the Museum of Torture Instruments. Oh yeah: hot iron. Not to mention the cold castle latrine…
