Ghent

The old part of Ghent is a jewel. We visited St. Bavo Cathedral and the saw the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, the Van Eyck altarpiece. We took a boat tour of the canals (very worthwhile) and chose a place recommended in Rick Steve's travel guide, for dinner - Belga Queen. It was fantastic. Amazing repurposing of a centuries old building into a very modern and upscale restaurant. Went to bed just after Spain won the soccer title. We have worked our way back from finishing dinner at 10:30 to finishing at 9:30.
