Gravensteen castle and more

After breakfast today, we first went back to the graffiti ally across the street. I loved the colours there!

But the real reason we went there was to locate a geo-cache that Simone found on her geo-cache app on her phone. After looking around for a while I found the cache stuck against the inside of metal bars with magnets :-)

We then walked towards the castle "Gravensteen" which we wanted to visit. Its entrance is at the square where we had dinner last night.

The castle was really fun to visit. It's not to big, lots of things and ways to photograph the castle itself or your lovely girlfriend ;-)

Great views though the entire city is crawling with cranes from all the construction that's being done everywhere...

We made it to the top!

Windows...

More windows ;-)

Me.

I can really recommend a visit to the castle. It's under construction here and there but they've done most of it now. There are also some medieval attributes on display such as swords, guns and torture devices.

When we left the castle, another geo-cache was located nearby. The pointer was kind of in the middle of the square, yeah right. Thankfully a clue pointed out a tiny ally which we found. "You need a tall person to find this cache" was another hint.

The cache was hidden in a hole high in the wall inside the ally. Second cache today! :-)

The weather was OK again. Perfect for walking around and enjoying all the pretty houses and bridges.

Lovely.

Houses along one of the main canals. A big display of wealth.

We walked out of the centre a bit to find a third cache and later a fourth one.

What a pretty little face :-)

Then we walked back in town again, spotting the odd statue here and there.

Dinner in the evening wasn't great unfortunately. Service was slow and distant. When we left it was pouring down with rain so we had desert at the hotel. We were both very tired from walking all day long.

Another great day!
