The Romans are coming!

Our poor feet! We walked so much today. The amphitheater was a little further than I expected...The route we took was almost a mile and a half one way, but it was worth it.

We made it. Three train changes, and five-plus hours later and we've arrived in Trier--one of the oldest cities in Germany. We left Gent (I'm spelling it as Libby has become accustomed to) at around 9:30. From Gent stopped off in Brussels and Luxembourg before arriving in Trier. The journey was...

Huisbrouwerij De Halve Maan and on to G(h)ent

Today was our last day in Bruges and first day in Ghent (though locally spelled "Gent"). We spent the majority of the morning about as far from our B&B as possible, as the two last sites we wanted to visit were 15-20 minutes away. The view of the Market Square facing away from the Belfort First...
