Belfort Belltower in Ghent







While in Ghent we also visited the Belfort Belltower. What a sight! I'm not sure how many miles you could see from the top, but it seemed like forever! After taking the elevator to the top, (we had climbed enough stairs in the castle) the view is amazing. You are allowed to go to all 4 sides and view the city underneath. However, we didn't stay long. On a cold day like Friday, and with the wind blowing into the observation areas of the tower, we were freezing.
Sidenote: This day was the first that I saw signs in R that he might be afraid of heights like me. He was squeemish ascending and descending the tight spiral stairs in the castle which had an unstable handrail. He also didn't seem too comfortable in the belltower.
