belgium
Ghent
Ypres
This day was colder than all the other days we were in Belgium, but it was better for it with all the travelling we were doing on our tour. Which is something we highly recommend and do not be afraid to shed a few tears.
What a gorgeous surprise of a city. It was a long-ish walk from the station to our apart-hotel, but once we were there we were in the middle of everything we wanted.
Things we recommend:
Holy food market | Sitting next to the canals with a beer | Seeing the Alter piece | Trying all the Belgium beer
Brussels
We were not in Brussels for very long, we were waiting to catch our Eurostar home, but we did walk to the main square and it is gorgeous, we also made sure we picked up some waffles and chocolates as presents.

Rome
This was Kate's first time in Rome, we flew to meet Pippa's parents there and rented a flat just outside the very centre. It was amazing. We wandered around the eternal city, enjoying all the sights and sounds of the city.
​
Things we recommend:
Get a beer and walk around with it | The Colosseum | Take a walk to the Trastevere | Carbonara | Merulana Restaurant

Cape Town
Again a first for Kate, first time in Cape Town, the mother city. We had flown out for Pippa's mom's birthday party. We certainly made the most of it though, seeing as much as we could in the time we had, also Kate swam with Penguins... if you know her... you know she loves that story.

Things we recommend:
Winetasting | All the Seafood | FoodBarn | Sushi | Table Mountain
