Ostend also had a lovely harbour with lots of boats, including this great old wooden ship all alight. What a great view from a supermarket carpark!
and of course you couldn't possibly go to Belgium and not try some of the scrumptious chocolates!!!
With more than 55 varieties of beautiful Belgium chocolates to choose from there were some hard decisions to make!
But eventually the decisions were made.... can't wait to sample one!!
We also had a cone of hot chip and the girls enjoyed the novelty of eating the chips and mayonnaise with a little disposable fork
We also saw this fella while in the supermarket buying some supplies for dinner and couldn't resist sharing him with you. (He's made from different loaves of bread).
Just enough time for the girls to have a quick turn on the equipment at the abbey before it's back into the camper and on our way to France and the ferry. We had a lovely week away in Holland and it was a nice bonus to be able to stop in Belgium and sample some of the delights of Ostend.
The trip back on the ferry was very uneventful, which is just what you want from a ferry trip!! but we did manage to get a few shots of the White Cliffs of Dover from the back of the ferry.
and a few more a couple of hours later, from much closer!
We also decided to stay the night in Dover at the local camper van free camping area, which was on Marine Parade and gave us wonderful sea views, and the local police station was in the building directly across the road, which gave us 24 hour security!
