Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent

 Up and at ‘em in the morning with John going up the belfry that had an elevator, no steps, so I felt fine with saying, “Take some good pictures” and staying downstairs.  We then finished downtown and took the tram out to the museum.  The best part of the museum was seeing the Ghent altarpiece panels under

  restoration.  The entire back of the altarpiece was present for work and you couldn’t take pictures, but John felt that a picture from 3 rooms away wouldn’t hurt anything.  Seeing the altarpiece in the museum was a good indication how beat up it has been with all the 

 looting, stealing, previous bad restorations.  This looked like panels that had been through a lot since 1432.  Also, we still couldn’t find Adam and Eve.  I don’t know where the originals of those are, but this was a good little museum and we had a fun

 few hours there with lunch and walked to the bus station where we hoped that our little bus that goes all the way from Ghent to Middelburg would actually be operating and it was there at 3:12pm as expected.  A drive under the Scheldt river in a tunnel that is 16 km long and we expected to come out in England

or something, but just Zeeland.  Able to get back in time to watch the next Netherlands world cup game in the square…
