I spent a night in Ghent and traipsed around during the next day. Lovely place, a bigger version of Brugge. Stayed in a historic hotel that I think was a hostel for visiting Nuns in the past.
Planning a full weekend back to the city later this year.

Also met some Boda (Norwegian) fans after the Derby game and it looks like a trip is on to get to one of their games. I fancy a train journey through Norway or across from Sweden.

My family have a new type of holiday planned, Zagreb to Lake Bled and back by Flexibus. Sort of Race Across the World fashion. I have done the route but by taxi.

Was the soap worn in the hostel?

Lake Bled is lovely. The Julian Alps are in the backdrop and a trip up to the WW1 battlegrounds is worth it.
My Mam and Dad stayed at the Hotel Toplise just before the Independence War and loved it. I took my wife there in around 1994 and was surprised how different it was to Croatia. We had been in Dubrovnik the year before and it was still shot up.

I would also recommend anyone who has a bad back to stay at the Hotel Cadez in Terme Cadez near to the Slovenia / Croatia border for a week. The mixture of treatments and exercises sorted mine out. The Thermal Riviera is a huge water park that is fantastic and the hotels are a part of it. We lived like royalty for a week there.

How very broad minded.
I didn’t even know you were allowed to visit nuns!

Going to Gibraltar for a short break in a couple of weeks .
Mon-Fri .

I don’t mind cooler weather , but even I’m sick of the rain we’ve had .

Current forecast for when we’re out there is sunshine / cloudy / showers .
So a right mixed bag .

Anyone been before ?

Went on a day trip once, I'm not really into military stuff so it wasn't really my bag. There's probably more to it than bunkers and monkeys though
