-
Antwerp
Two snapshots of Antwerp: a stencilled girl hiding on a broken wall, and a night when the whole city seemed to squeeze onto the Scheldt quays.
-
Bruges
Bruges at Christmas: the Belfort glowing over the market stalls, a wobbly lap of the ice rink, Brugse Zot at De Halve Maan and far too much chocolate.
-
Brussels
Brussels in November 2012: the Grand Place in gilt, Manneken Pis, Tintin on the walls, Mini-Europe with Dileep's brother, and a Chimay to finish.
-
Ghent
Ghent in November 2012: belfry views over the Graslei, oysters on the Groentenmarkt, a window full of Belgian beer and the ramparts of Gravensteen castle.
