Gent: Day 18

On a whim I went to gent with my newfound diplomatic envoy. The experience only lasted a few hours before I had to catch the train back to Antwerp , but it was quite entertaining. I mostly ran around the town trying to take in as much as possible while at the same time trying not to lose any limbs to frostbite.
The most memorable part of the visit was trying to get to the train. What I was told would be a 15 min walk turned into an hour long trek. It wasn't the most amusing walk but I had good company and how many people can say they walked down 200 year old streets on the bank of a canal while it was snowing. I would of enjoyed it more however if I wasn't freezing.
