our first train ride took us to belgium to the small town of ghent. it is a university town and the vegetarian capital of europe, 30 minutes north of brussels. very walkable and extremely scenic with many towers and ornate flemish buildings. we walked into town from our air bnb apartment. we had one drizzly morning but it passed after 30 minutes or so. we toured the castle of the counts, climbed the belfry for views of the city and saw a famous painting in one of the many cathedrals. we enjoyed traditional waffles and fries - the best we've ever had!
