It's Great in Ghent

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!
