Wednesday 10th May

Myriam picked us up at 8.30 for breakfast at their unit & then took us to Ghent, about 60 km away. It was a fine day & was starting to warm up. Ghent is a magnificent medieval city which apparently, was the second most important port in Europe in that period, with many churches & a fine cathedral which we visited.

We took a boat tour of the river & canals around the inner city & were very impressed withal the fine buildings & churches of the various guilds. Not surprisingly, the biggest church was that of the brewers, very apt, we felt for Belgium.

On our return they took us to meet Sofie, their youngest daughter, Tirry, her husband & their 2 children. They live in an old farmhouse which Tirry has beautifully restored. Sofie & the children all played their instruments for us & entertained us very well.

After dinner with Myriam & Herman we were driven back to Jessica's for the night.
