Hmm. It turns out that the hotel is somehow out of town. It is very elegant though, and comfortable, but we decide to leave in the morning, place the luggage at the railway station so that we can leave straight after our visit. Good decision; we meet three lovely big-hearted young people' -Seb Fiona and Saskia- who helped us use the complicated (at least for us) public transport and get to the Main Attraction; the Castle (they took a look at Rachel). So we walked along the bridge, admired the brave people who have taken a canal trip (despite the rain), looked at St Bavo's cathedral (from the outside) and visited Gravensteen, the medieval castle, complete with torture chamber and dungeon. it looks very authentic- people walk through the dark, gloomy rooms, wonder at the torture chambers ,climb the narrow staircase and admire the view.
