Day 23: Ghent, Take Two

On Saturday 1st December, Sarah and I caught the train to Ghent to do all the stuff we ran out of time to do in the first week. This included walking down one of Ghent's graffiti streets (designated areas where anyone can paint), trying cuberdons (known as Ghent Noses, they are purple candy things that are quite sweet), looking in gift-ware stores and freezing our fingers while eating frites with mayonnaise (the Belgium way) from the only chip vendors left that still cut every chip by hand. We also passed by the Gravensteen, sampled cupcake goodness from Julie's House and returned to Lokeren several shopping bags heavier than before!
