a marvelous city

Gent was not a well known city to me. Don't ask me why. It seems that people get attracted to places far away from home, the exotic, the adventure, while there is so much beauty at a few miles distance.

I have made a new friend in Gent who has been a day host and friend to already many other VT-members.
He is (how could it be any one else?) Luc, alias Luchonda.

Do have a look at the travelogues where you can find the links to the photo albums of all the meetings.

For additional information, the official website of Gent
It is very interesting!

For a set of beautiful pictures Visit some of my albums on Fotki.

you are partly right Luc... Only in Ghent I found spare ribs for left handed hahaha I removed my top 5 page out of protest. Close to 60 tips and 200 pictures have been moved to my fotki albums and will remain there.
