Day 1 of my Belgium trip! [Terneuzen, Ghent, Climb]

Hi there fellow Steemers! I'm going to tell you about my first day of my trip to Belgium, other days of the trip will be posted in the future. I will write in detail, because I am scared that I will forget the small details. The small details make the trip great, and that's why I write them down :) I traveled in Belgium with @maxse, my travel buddy ❤️

I woke up in the morning at 8:30, I didn't have much sleep because of the hype for the trip so I was a bit drowsy. I showered and checked if I got everything. I packed as light as possible. I don't like walking around with a big bag. I packed an extra shirt, an extra sweater, 3 pairs of socks and 3 pairs of underwear, my lovely DSLR of course & an extra 50mm f1.8 lens, all my cables and one extra battery pack for my camera in case of emergency. I used my camera bag so I had to put all the clothes really creative in my bag which was a little work but it worked out well. 

A half hour later we arrived in Ghent. We got dropped of at the street of where our host lives. Max messaged some of his Belgium friends if they had a place to crash. Luckily one of them answered, his name is William Patt. I did not know him so I didn't know what to expect of him. We were looking around for his house but at that very moment William arrived on his bike from the supermarket. He let us in and showed us around in his building. He brought us to his tiny room with just a bed and a little desk. He had to bring something upstairs so we sat there. We started arguing on how we ever could fit in such a tiny room. William sleeps in a high sleeper so that was a good thing. 5 minutes later William came back and I introduced myself. He told us he had to do a lot of work but he had some time bringing us to a indoor session close to the station of Ghent. We got there but we didn't really enjoy it. He said he was heading to a supermarket after. We joined him and we talked a lot on the way there about climbing high stuff. It got me thinking about climbing something for some sick pictures, but I wasn't that serious about it. As we entered the supermarket we got ourselves our dinner and I bought some water & bananas. We walked back to Williams home, he went up stairs to make his dinner in the shared kitchen of his building. Eventually he clung there and Max & I started talking about his funny accent. Sorry not sorry William :) . I ate pasta pesto from the Albert heijn. It sucked so I threw it away and I ate some bananas to get powered up.  William had to do work till 00:00, so Max & I left to see some cool buildings in the city. We took a lot of photo's in Ghent. It is a really cool city with a lot of nice architecturistic buildings. Of course I couldn't stop myself from taking some photos. Here are some!

We had a great stay at William's place. I sleeped in his hammock and Max on a couch-bed. I want to thank William for our stay and his kindness. This was my first day in Belgium. 

See you later steemigators? :)
