September 25th: arriving in Belgium

Baneasa airport is small and undignified for starting our noble mission. But that's ok because nobody knows about our mission yet. they'll see... This day was full of deep thoughts and little facts: we flew high and fast to charleroi. met Rik, our friend and host. Arrived in Gent by car. Rik's house is lovely, about a hundred years old. Almost all houses in Flanders are made from real red brick. The sights are lovely.
Rik showed us the center of Gent, historical buildings and all kind of places that came with a story.
And, of course, we stopped from time to time to drink a beer.
In the evening we went to a special bar, where they had a special kwak beer. The glasses for this kind of beer were so expensive that you had to take out a shoe and gave it to the bartender so they could make sure u wouldn't leave the bar with their expensive special glass. The beer was special too. Especially strong. Rik really rocks as a guide. The photo is unclear, but that's also the way i was seeing it at the moment
