arriving.ghent

you are approaching the city, you see the ugly industrial area, you wonder if this is the right place to be… once you drive into the city center, you ride on cobbled roads, you hear the sound of the tyres on the uneven road, you see different towers and churches and you tell yourself you are in the ancient city…

you checked-in. you were told you have been upgraded to an upgrade to executive room. you are thrill and you shout out loud that the time is yours because you have been experiencing God’s blessings in a row… you first come across the walk-in closet, you admire the extra spacious bathroom.


you look at the attic window and enjoy the natural sunlight, you climb up the sofa and peep your head out to enjoy the city view, you are thankful for a new suite even though you know you are here only for one night. you enjoy a cup of nespresso in the room before checking out the city.



you step out the hotel and you are overwhelm by this gothic city hall right in front of you. you drop the plan on how you want to conquer the city. you decide to just wondering around not looking at the map and let the city surprises you. you know you won’t get lost in this city, you know the adventure will continue and you will see more, experience more in this medieval city...


you walk around, stumble into many old buildings that you don't even know why they existed...

you are hungry and can’t decide what to eat, you walk to groot vleeshouse but he doesn’t like the east vlanderen’s fare

you decide to have some thing sweet while you find a place to eat. the sweet caught your attention. you bought a small pack. you are surprised by the gooey natural syrup of blueberry that so natural and fresh. you walk on...

you come to the river side. you stop by briefly to admire the old houses along the river bank and the many cafes and restaurants along both side of the river. you walk further because you are hungry but you don't want to eat at a tourist trap restaurant.


you don't know where you are now, but you are glad that you get lost and encounter more buildings like this and this...
