  • In January 2024 we finally ventured back into Europe after 4 years of staying in the UK. We decided to visit the Medieval city of Ghent and discover the history, the architecture and delve into the beer culture Belgium has to offer.
    Be sure to check out the @ToerismeGent Tourism Channel, give them a follow and tell them we sent you!. They are located on: Sint-Veerleplein 5, 9000 Gent, Belgium. Thank you Melina, Jasper & Team for the City Pass's and information to help us explore!

    Hi guys! This was amazing! Loved the graffiti lane and the views from the belfry - I really have to try and conquer my fear of heights! Really liked the travel info too. Great stuff! You know, we lived in Mons for 3 years. We know Belgium very well (obviously), but we only went to Gent a couple of times and never really explored it. Looking forward to the rest of your videos from this visit. Hope you're better. Take care, Ellie and Martyn xx

    We enjoyed seeing how you got to Ghent from where you live. Always wanted to take the train though the tunnel. Enjoyed your exploration though this beautiful city too. The "Trollekelder" looked like a fun place! Beautiful Cathedral and we'll be looking forward to the tour. Gravensteen Castle was stunning and are looking forward to hearing about the drunken final siege! Beautiful quick tour and we're looking forward to more!

    I miss a train trip. Excited to looking at the picturesque views through a large glass window
    Nice tips about 48hr-pass for the travel that PPL plan for
    Wow New and Old....
    wow, maybe the weather??? the appearance of this castle 6:23 is intimidating..hahah
    well maintained...architecture is amazing
    haha I will spend quite time at Friday Market Square..hahah
    Not only history and architecture, but also shopping????
    This square offers much...although, fewer PPL than I anticipated.
    It seems so exciting to see all exhibition at Belfry 9:11 Indeed the panoramas views take my breath away...wowowo
    I would love to take a boat tour...
    I cannot wait for your future films
    Safe trip
    no wonder I have not seen you hosting premiere..you are filming on vacation hahahah
