A mini trip to Belgium

Popped over to Belgium last week for a few days break (from being on holiday!). It was our first city(ies) break with our 11 year old, Reece. So a test for all. We went to Ghent first which was lovely, stayed there for two nights but popped over to Antwerp for the day, then finished off staying in Brugges, but had a day trip to Ypres.
Considering its so close to home, I can't believe we've never been before, and the cities are so close to each other.
We found Brugges very touristy, and full of tourists, causing large queues, whereas Gent and Antwerp were much quieter.
The architecture was lovely. Some piccys:-


These were taken from a boat trip around Gent.


The Town Hall at Antwerp.

And the tourists of Brugges (excluding ourselves of course!).
