I am from Ghent and it is quite interesting how you are comparing Ghent and Bruges, because for centuries long, there is always been a rivalry between those two. Who was the most powerful medieval city, who has the best football club (especially football)... Good to hear that you had a great time in Ghent!
Ghent is the best, not bruges! :) Born and raised there... by the way, bruges stole oure dragon centuries ago and we took it back. That's is where it all started!
This is indeed such an interesting city, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Hi Nigel - what a great tip ..... thank you, and yes we will defo be back to Belgium !! we just don't know when .... so many beautiful places to go !! LOL thanks again 💜😃👍🚐💚
Awh thanks Ann for checking out and watching the older stuff !! Yep fingers crossed for this vaccine thingy !! we really have everything crossed for you and us next year !! xx
Thanks for sharing. We've been to Brugges a few times and love it but have just booked a short trip to Ghent in October. Great to watch your video and get a raster 😊 also just subscribed as it looks like you have lots of great content for us to binge on! All the best
Hello. Been to both Ghent and Brygge :) last week, and I cannot choose one.. both are beautiful. The architecture is amazing. Even on a dull rainy day, everything looks so good. And walking thru Bruges is like walking in a fairy tale. I did not like Brussels very much.... but Bruges and Ghen were worth the visit.
I'm from Ghent myself and it's always nice looking at videos people make about our city. By the way, do you know what that 'tower' is in the background at 9:42?
i live in a town called sint-niklaas, like 30min drive away from ghent and everytime i visit ghent i buy some of those "ghent noses'' and nowhere in belgium ( as far as i know ) they have better ones. i hope you had fun and enjoyed our little country!
hello you 2 ghent is a great town in which i lived for 3 months many years ago while fitting out one of the star flyer boats on the dock side and from your video i am thinking of re visiting there again as a tourist as i never got to see ghent from a tourists eye as such although this tme will be doing it in my camper van so i would appreciate a link to the chemi loo disposal app please
Hi Mark - we use park4night and google public toilets when we are on the road - park4night (I have the free version) will give you basic descriptions on each spot pinned, giving you info on the services (if any) available - our loo holds about 2 / 3 days worth so we manage to find spots quite regularly - sounds great - you will love van life in Belgium - there are quite a few spots and everyone as you probably already know .... are fabulous !!! 💜🤗😍👍
ghent has not the same amount of kinds of beer like Bruges. and I don't think an underground beer pipeline can be found in Ghent. the beer cafes are also much more numerous in bruges. west flanders is also the part of belgium where the hop farmers are located (poperinge) and without it the rest of belgium are nowhere with their beers. because hop is so essential for making a good beer .
Hi Adam - we have had this said before .... but we are not sure this is something we want to do - but Chris is coming up with other ways to support us 💜👍 so watch this space LOL xxx thanks again for your sub xx kind regards Marianne and Chris xx

With no enforcement here in Ireland, you will see most truck drivers on their phones as well.
Hi John, yep - It is a real problem ...... 😕
Ghent beats Bruges every time for me.Beautiful city and as for the beer......
Hi Kieran - stunning .... I loved both cities for different reasons but can see why you would love Ghent more 😃👍😍
ghent has not the same amount of kinds of beer like Bruges. and I don't think an underground beer pipeline can be found in Ghent. the beer cafes are also much more numerous in bruges.
west flanders is also the part of belgium where the hop farmers are located (poperinge) and without it the rest of belgium are nowhere with their beers. because hop is so essential for making a good beer
.
i live in antwerp also a great city , textingt and driving re common in belgium and yes its against the law
Thanks for the info - haven't been to Antwerp yet but will do in the future
@@TREADtheglobe if you are ever passing back this way in the future please get in touch we can do lunch and a walk around the old city , al and mayuko
