Time for a new trip - this time one week in Belgium
Belgium in November will be not as nice as in June - but I will have some nice surprises too when it comes to the weather. Flying to Belgium has its benefits - I can do it from central Stockholm, Bromma airport.
At Zaventem airport, I'm greeted
A stop on my way from the airport to Gent
This time I'm staying in the central part of Gent - near Dampoort
Walking down the streets of Gent
Belgium is obviously the home of not only NATO but also the beers
The beauty of Gent combined with the iPhone 12 camera
The next morning
A freight train at Dampoort, it looks promising
Today I'm heading to a railway line where I know for sure I'll spot some freight trains - The Belgian railway line 15 connecting Antwerp with Hasselt.
The line is also connecting Belgium with Germany
Here at Diepenbeck station I'm spotting my first freight train
