Sadly it was foggy, so we didn't get great views from the towers there, but we still had a good time enjoying the views, little Xmas houses, and another canal boat ride:

Sint Michielskerk

Saint Nicholas' Church

sadly, not much of a view from the top of those churches, bummer... (Belfort and Saint Bravo's Cathedral)

So, we went to Saint Bavo's Cathedral while hoping that the fog would lift:

They have a very nice triple panel painting, which you can see closed and noon, and opened the rest of the time:

We then went back to Belfort tower, but the fog didn't lift

Sigh...

Ghent was full of little Xmas houses. We went to see a few:

chocolate tools, yummy

Just like Bruges, the canals were nice to see and do a ride on:

narrowest house in Ghent

From the canal ride, we went to see Castle Gravensteen:

just like the rest of Ghent, the view wasn't fantastic due to fog

Before long, it started getting dark, got a few pictures:

We then went back to the train station, drop off the rental car, and took a train to Bruxelles:

err, where did I put my bike? :)
