Train and Dinner

A pretty uneventful day. Today we travelled by train from Berlin to Ghent via köln and Brussels. We woke up at 4am this morning to get to our train at 6:45. Left youth hostel at 5 and walked thought the teir gardens in the dark and then many more streets to the train station. Made it to the train station at 5:50. Found the platform and made it onto the train. We only had 30 minutes to change trains in köln and this train ran 25 minutes late. Luckily for us we arrived on platform 6 and left on platform 6 so our next train was slightly delayed and we made it. The next change in Brussels was 10 minutes however this time our train got in fine and we got on the next train to Ghent with plenty of time to spare. 

Getting to the ghent hostel required a tram. Alastair decided we'd leave on the wrong side of the station..... Bini eventually proved him wrong. Anyway getting the tram was amazingly easy as everyone is super friendly I'm Belgium. A local helped us with the ticket machine and then another one helped us to validate our tickets once we were on the train. 

At the Ghent hostel we have a private room with a great veiw over the top of ghent. Also it had a ensuite. A nice room and an overall cosy hostel. 

We had a little splurge for dinner and went out to an expensive Italian restaurant with amazing reviews. (With help from trip advisor) the Food was great bini had a ragu pasta and I had an amazing carbonara. For dessert we had a panacotta with caramel sauce to share. Afterwards we had a nice wander around Ghent as it is a beautiful town. We eventually made it home :)
