Gent, a beautifull city - Provincie Oost-Vlaanderen

The most famous city in the province of Oost-Vlaanderen is without doubt Gent. We had the pleasure of visiting Gent on a saturday with a small group of VT members, with Luchonda to guide us. We built a page on this beautifull city, but you just have to see Lucs Gent page, with 63 tips and much more pics!

Filip is waiting for us to take the pics

In november 2003 we discovered some of the Flanders Ardennes. This area is known for its hills that are the difficult parts of the cycling tour of Flanders. (Ronde van Vlaanderen)
Filip drove us through them (in his car....) and although the weather was gray and cold we had a wonderfull day.
We were very glad to be in a car to climb the Kwaremont, the Koppenberg, the Patersberg.
After this beautifull region we visited the city that is centre of the Tour de Flanders: Oudenaarde. A nice city, with some historic monuments.

The way it should be done.....

And this the way it should be done, by bicycle. Maybe next time.........
