We are really liking Gent with all the cycling and walking. There are very few cars in the city. The only vehicles seem to be buses/trams and public service vehicles, hence it is a cyclists paradise! The only downside to this is that the cyclists do not seem to obverse any rules so you have to be on guard at the same time as minding the tram lines. Being only half an hour from Brussels a lot of people commute, cycle to the station and a quick train trip. That's not to say there is no employment in Gent. Gent is a very busy, thriving city. Cycle parking at the station takes priority with the cars pushed to the back. The bicycle park is huge and full. The photograph below is just one of the cycle parks.
Now where did I put my bike?
Back to the quayside and it's time for another round of Boules. All very close, just next to the boats. Very handy to hop back when you run out of beer.
Margaret, Chris and Sara in competition.
This was day two of a four round session. I won't say who won but it was a close game.
