Highlights of Belgium
Middelkerke
Seafoam Sunset Sunday.
De Panne
De Panne nears the French border on the Belgian Coast (very close to Dunkirk). We took the Tram there and walked back to our temporary homestead of Middelkerke.
Oostende to Middelkerke
Spent some days by the Belgian Coast last week and had the opportunity to capture the essence of this visually stunning strip of land that is steeped in history. It isn't exactly beach season yet (June to September), so it made for the perfect setting to grab some shots without the crowds.
Check them out and let me know which one's your fav in the comments section below!
German built WW2 Bunker
On the Belgian coast near Oostende, there lies a series of World War 2 relics in Raversyde called “Atlantikwall”, created by the Germans to prevent coastal invasion by the Allies. This is one of the artillery positions, amongst bunkers and observation posts.

Duvel
We stumbled into the brewery with no appointment and managed to get a tour of the Duvel Brewery!
Fun fact: Luc (An's dad) worked here one summer. Here are some photos from our tour:

"Little Willow-Marsh/Swamp" or "Little Wanting Pants"
Lots of historical significance with this canal-village where An grew up!
- Napoleon spied on enemy ships here while he was trying to conquer Europe
- Allies bombed a bridge here that connected to Boom, Belgium (where Tomorrowland is held) during WW2 to prevent Hitler's advances
