Happy with our brief visit to Antwerp, we drove on to Ghent, our last stop in Belgium, finding the camper-stop in Gentbrugge, 4-5 miles from the city center. Through the kindness of a stranger, we found the correct bus into town...another dazzlingly beautiful old Belgian city.

A friend of mine actually makes bobbin lace. Her bobbins are all antique and beautiful. I hope you were able to watch them create the lace...it is fascinating. There is actually a lace guild in this area.
So jealous of all the sights you are seeing!
I couldn't watch it; I should go mad!
