In August 2015, I made a short trip to the Belgian province East Flandern and the Belgian Coast. We stayed at Ghent and visited Bruges and Blankenberge. The hotel in Ghent was realy nice and realy dog-friendly. It was the hotel Astoria, a nice 3Star hotel near the railways station.

We also passed an afternoon at the beach in Blankenberge. Realy nice for running and lying in the sand. As the tides are realy impressive here, there is so much space on the beach at low tide, but the water gets back realy quick at high tide.
