That will reveal thumbnail pictures. There are 125 photos of these two small, historic, and beautiful cities where we visited in May 2007.

The best way to see them is in a slideshow. In the upper right hand corner you'll see a light green box -- click SLIDESHOW.

You can choose the number of seconds to reveal each shot. Put your cursor on the bottom of the photo frame to stop, start, skip, etc.

1. Oooh, I'm so excited!

I can't wait to look at these. I'll be going to Ghent in a little over a month. I'm sure we'll be visiting Brugges during my vacation as well.

Do you have any recommendations? Anything I should definitely see...or avoid?

2. Definitely need to see the large canal in Ghent, not far from the main/market square.

You'll see some beautiful pictures (Ghent Tour #18 through 24) which will give you an idea of what you will see. That area looked really neat, and there were no overhead wires. We didn't walk that canal area. There are a total of more than 30 pictures from Ghent.

You should also go to Bruges and don't forget to spend a day in Brussels if you can.

3. Very lovely.

I'm even more excited now that I looked at your pictures. Both cities are so different than what we're used to here in the states. Their architecture is amazing.

I'll be staying with a friend who lives in Ghent, so most of my 3 weeks will be in Belgium (we're also going to the Netherlands and London). She's going to serve as my tour guide--I'm pretty much leaving the itinerary up to her, but I know we're going to Bruges and Brussels...and probably numerous other towns/cities in Belgium. I think the only area we're probably going to skip is the French southern part of Belgium...apparently it's rather industrial. ;)

4. Huskerlaw, sounds like a great itinerary. Hope you get some good weather...

I don't know much about summer weather in Europe and the U.K. We tend to travel in spring and fall, and stay home in summer so I can stay comfortable in my cool house.

However, this August we're going to San Francisco and hope that will be OK. I have to have airconditioning when it's over 70 degrees -- I'm a lonely little petunia who hates the heat...

Good night and good luck.

5. Thank you!

It brought back lots of happy memories for me!

6. My mom took so many people to Bruges when she lived in Belgium

she probably could have gotten a job as a tour guide. She knew all the good restaurants, and what days and times things were open down cold.

It is an excepionally beautiful city indeed. (Basically, because it stagnated and died in the Middle Ages when the river silted up and the wool trade shifted to England and Antwerp/Amsterdam. So now it is this perfectly preserved relic untouched by wars or development.)
