Gent - Gent

We decided not to have breakfast at home this morning, but rather to enjoy "coffeecake" at one of the coffeeshops at the station. We were armed with our book and map, but did not have idea where to catch the bus to the historical part of town. I popped into the railway info office and enquired about the VVV offices, which I was told was at the historical part of town, but the very friendly person at the desk told me to catch Tram no 1, which would take me directly to where I wanted to go. So off we went, got off and started our tour of the city.
Such a fantastic city and we enjoyed our day there thoroughly. Would recommend it to everyone to visit.
