Final night's accommodation: possibly our swankiest apartment yet

Ghent's only small but it packs a punch in the department of large pointy things...

...Saint Bavo Cathedral...

...the Belfry of Ghent....

..certainly worth a final climb

Playing dare with the fountain

Profound words

Saint Nicholas' Church, from the Belfry of Ghent

Inside St Nicholas' Church...

...beautifully kept...

...a fitting final architecture fix for Ralph

Last dinner: Persian, of course (well, everything else is closed or full)

6.30am Monday morning, the sheep are ready to leave Ghent...

...there's little to stop us as we dash to Calais...

...with our trip receding into the distance behind us...

...a suitably drab backdrop for our penultimate border crossing

Waiting to board our train...

...keeping a keen eye for signs of movement...

...and finally, back in the UK. The M20 welcomes us with an hour-long traffic jam.

Stopping at services on the M25 - still in adventure mode

The excitement's mounting as we get closer...

...this one can't keep still long enough to get a photo
