Mmm, I thought. What's the story for today? Our last holiday stop is in Belgium; and I have photos but no special story. It was simply a lovely day out. We had browsed through the brochure of trips and found a few things one of us liked, but nothing we were all crazy about doing; so we settled on a simple trip down the river in Ghent.
It started like this
with a surprise peep from the river bank. The boats weren't what we had been imagining at all - I thought we'd be chugging along on a big river boat, but they looked like much more fun than that
So we all hopped aboard
for a peaceful, up close and personal tour of the waterways in Ghent.
We saw new things
and old things
and then we pulled up at the shore
and headed off for a look round the shops
And that's my story for today. Oh, talking of which - don't forget it's Storytelling Sunday next week. We have an August Wedding Anniversary, so my story might be slightly connected to that. With a suggested theme, then, of Summer Lovin' - but, of course, any story you care to tell will be very welcome. See you there!

It is Great in Ghent.
Can I just say thank you, one of the 'posts you might like' underneath was a link to a post on blogging from March 2010, has led me on a merry dance this morning round to new blogs to me and ideas to update my blog.
That river boat ride looks so serene. The weather looks gorgeous too. Sounds like a nice day.
Lovely pics - it looks very relaxing.
always love to see urban architecture - wonderfal tall buildings and love the statue fo teh man about to dive
It looks very beautiful Sian. Thankyou for sharing your holiday with us :o)
beautiful words and photos as always!
That looks like a wonderful way to see something a little bit different. I must admit I had never heard of Ghent but it does look beautiful.
That looks a really lovely way to see Ghent - you have some wonderful photos to scrap!
Super photos - and I especially like the very first one. What a great way to sit back and absorb ...
looks very beautiful.... are those facebook sweets!! whats that all about lol!!
Sounds like a lovely day and tour, a day on the water
I was expecting beer and chocolates, so, it is nice to see architecture as an alternative!
More lovely photos, and since I've never been to Belgium I was particularly interested in what you saw!
I love the statues off the sides of buildings. Been working on a couple of story ideas for Sunday; none are summer lovin' ones, but I might be able to go there. . .

It is a pretty place isn't it Sian? My FIL ran an Irish pub there for a while so we got to visit too (feel like I am stalking you all over Europe, LOL!).
That looks like a very pretty place. I still haven't decided on a story for Sunday, but as it is winter here maybe a summer story would be nice.
Looking forward to Sunday!!!!!
Ghent looks lovely, it's on my wish list to visit as we love Brugge so I'm sure this is a great city too. I also noticed an advert in Scrap 365 advertising that they are having a Scrapbooking event there in October...
Great looking pictures Sian. Reminds me of our canal tour in Copenhagen. Still trying to think of something for Sunday.
It looks like a nice way to spend a day! I love the first 'old things' photo. And the facebook sweets of course! x
