Our visit to the Belgian Coast club coincided with a heatwave across Europe. We visited many cities during our stay including Bruges, Oostende, Brussels and Ghent. Each day our hosts provided us with a professional tour guide and an excellent lunch. We enjoyed the warm hospitality of our hosts and the cool Belgian Beer.
