Gent, Belgium

After our time in Brugge we took the train to Gent for a roller derby tournament. Gent is really nice, but I like Brugge just a bit better

After we got checked in where we were staying we went to get some lunch at Avalon. We ordered the lasagna

And one of the plates of the day. I love plates like this! I get to try all the food! We had eaten here last time and it was top on the list of places to go back to. 







Some photos from breaks in roller derby - sitting outside in the sun for a bit






The place that holds the roller derby tournament always has lots of vegan treats for us!

Dinner at De Frietketel - another place we went last time and wanted to go back


We tried two different burgers

And of course some fries and some veggie balls. The balls were different from last time, but still tasty. And I think that is a small fry. It was a ton of food!

Breakfast at roller derby! Delicious vegan baked goods!


This is an outdoor play area next to where the derby is held. 



Like an obstacle course set up in the grass




There is not a lot out by where derby is held

Lunch from derby - like a beef stew and potatoes. So tasty!



Some ice cream on a hot day





There were two food events going on while we were there. One a food cart festival and one a fancier foods event, but they were right next to each other in the center of town. 



We tried a veggie dog with popcorn! And a pretzel bun


And the Dutch weed burger - pretty good

Wandering around town






Close to where we were staying in the center of town we found the graffiti/street art alley!














It is not that long, and it is right in the middle of all the fancy buildings downtown. It seems a bit out of place, but I loved it





Dinner at Greenway - a kebab wrap with salad

And a smoked jalapeno burger

And a brownie for dessert. We went here last time as well, but I didn't like it that much. I wasn't planning on going back, but not much was open late nearby so when we wanted dinner it was one of the few options we had. It was a lot better than I had remembered which was good





Another lunch at roller derby - schnitzel, green beans, and potatoes. This is always the best tournament food! I love it!


Dinner at Thai Thanee - spring rolls

And curry. I love Thai food!

Some strange art we walked by

And walking back to our room after dinner. We were in Gent for a few days, but most of it was spent watching derby. Plus last time we went for this tournament we spent the day prior exploring the city. And that was our Belgium adventure last year!

Campervan Adventures in Iceland: Final Thoughts

That is it for our Iceland adventures! I wanted to post one last wrap up just to say a few things I didn't put elsewhere, or organize my overall thoughts in one place. 

Campervan Adventures in Iceland: Ferry home - Tórshavn

The boat home was just as smooth and uneventful as the ride to Iceland. We left Iceland at 8pm Wed, Thurs at 3pm we arrive in Tórshavn and had a few hours to wander around, then back to the boat for the night, Friday was at sea, and Saturday we arrived in Hirtshals at 11am. 

Krabi Town, Thailand - Day 2

Our second day in Krabi town was just a half day. We had until 2pm to hang out and explore before we headed off to Phuket. We got up early and went in search of breakfast hopeful that some of the places that were closed the night prior would be open - and luckily they were! Well a lot were still closed, but the best looking place was open so it was perfect. Raymond's plate of food   And mine - only $1.25! Such a steal and super delicious. We both had rice noodles and yakisoba and ham log, and Raymond got some greens and I tried a curry looking thing with lots of weird vegetables I had never had before. It was pretty tasty, but it was a fish curry with mock fish in it and well I have never been a seafood fan so probably not my best choice. I just went by what things looked like since I don't read Thai.  After lunch we went to explore Wat Kaew Korawaram up on the hill.  There was this abandoned park along the stairway up to the temple with wild animal statues
