More Ostend

The 1930s café/brasserie of the Hotel du Parc: 

Mercator, training ship

Lady Jane

Enjoying a well-deserved rest after following the Marvin Gaye ipod tour - or to be more precise, NOT following it, as we somehow managed to detour all the way to Mariakerke and had to go back to Ostend on the tram.

Note coffee filters that I remember from my first visit to Belgium as a child in 1966, and which you don't generally see any more. First they were replaced by plastic ones, and then by Italian coffee machines.

A day in Ostend

I was determined to get these up while it was still September - unfortunately  my computer had other ideas!
