I wish we could have visited together, but it was lovely to see Gent from the sofa. 😺❤️ The larger clock tower is spectacular - so beautiful.

Sometimes Nawaz goes shopping

Wow Selmar, I am a Canadian of Dutch descent (post war parents) and I was captivated every moment. I have never been to Europe but I know I could spend days just walking around and admiring the churches... spectacular...just spectacular...

This is blowing my mind I live right next to that brocante market!! So crazy seeing people I watch walking by my window everyday, passing in your video... What a small world huh?!

Looks lovely, active with people, shops are really nice looking. Thanks for sharing Selmar.

The Ghentians have accepted the stadshall as one of the many authentic buildings in their town. Ghent is one of the most beautiful places in Belgium because it is not a museum, it combines the old and the modern. Stubern, proud people with an open mind. Love your impression of this magic place 💕

Good morning Selmar…I am so sad for you and Tatanya… I hope you won’t have to wait too much longer to be back together… So happy that you have found love with each other. Have a great day

Such an impressive structure, the Castle of Counts! It is ancient. And I wonder what was there before the wooden buildings of the original structure were built? Beautiful to see the architecture and river in Gent! I've never been to Den Haag, Brussels, Netherlands, anywhere in that region. Thank you, Selmar and Diesel! 💗

The sound quality is great. Beautiful architecture.

¡Buenos dias Selmar! Thanks for taking us along as you tango your way across the Low Countries while waiting to rejoin Tatiyana. We too can't wait to see your castle!

Interesting tour. Certainly lots of churches and beautiful architecture. The old castle was amazing.

Dear Selmar thank you for the beautiful walk through Gent. The churches are so beautiful, I love old architecture, can you imagine the history behind such old beauties? I am not a fan of modern buildings and to me, they do not have character. There are quite a few folks walking around the city without masks something that is required where I live in Northern California. I am loving hearing the peak of the church bells as you are walking. Love and hugs to you and Diesel. Say hello to Tatiana, I’m sure you’re missing each other very much. I saw her video clip with the wonderful little ducks and they looked quite happy but a little annoyed with her being gone so long but it was nice to see them. Have a wonderful week Sellner. 🐶☮️🥰❤️😘🙏✨🤗🎼🍂🌾🍁🌹💐☮️

Wonderful Gent seems a great place to visit, thxs Selmar for showing us this Belgium city. Looking forward to your Tango evening.

Used to live in Sint martens latem, a beautiful , quiet village just outside of Gent, I am originally and at the moment living in Slovakia, so your video Selmar, floods back so many memories.

Thank you Selmar for showing us around Gent. Hope you and Tatyana will be reunited soon

I agree Selmar, modern buildings put in the middle of beautiful old cities or towns just doesn't work. Thanks for the great video of Gent.

They didn't have much choice , they were in filling after they had cleared out the rubble from the bombed out buildings.

Selmar, I was thrilled to see the store Missy Sippy. Since I live in Mississippi. Enjoyed the tour. Good job.

🇨🇦 thank you for taking us along to visit Ghent. I'm visiting family in Germany leaving this Friday. I hope to visit Netherlands and Belgium. Safe travels 👋😷👋😷

Good morning Selmar, I was totally blown away by the beauty of the town called Gent. Thank you so much for sharing, Gent is going on the list of places I’m going to visit one day what a truely beautiful place. Sending a big hug to you and the beautiful Miss T from Tasmania xxx

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing, Selmar.

the church is beautiful and probably more spectacular on a warm sunny day with the light going through the stained glass. The town is so nice! It has been a while since I have been there. Thank you for taking us along!

You have such a talent for showing off the most charming towns! The castle was really something to see.

Great walk and great video 😊 thank you for posting. Some alleys are intact from previous wars and torns. The architectural design is splendid. Without doubt, these are marvelous and remaining from tartarian civilization.

Pictures are unreal. Such amazing Architecture & history! So many Amazing Churches all together, I am sure that represents much story & history. Would definitely visit if I could. Thanks for sharing your video with us! (The Castle was unbelievable with all its towers.)

The castle was amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful city.

Thank you Selma really beautiful old buildings.

The flower market on a Sunday is also great. Really miss my trips.

Beautiful church, nice street market. So Flemish is an offshoot of Dutch.. good to know.

Good morning Selma you have shown us again some most beautiful buildings the town is fantastic the castle is superb safe travels

Hey Selmar, glad you enjoyed our beautiful Gent. And yes, there are quite a few churches but the tower that played Sinterklaas kapoentje is the belfry ;-) and the one with the two smal towers is the old postal building. Did you go to see 'the lightfestival' at night? That's what the moon you saw on the graslei was about. Hope you can join Tatiana soon and also look forward to seeing you back at La Lande or at your own chateau!

Good morning Selmar 😘 Thank you for sharing 😘🇨🇦

Selmar, thank-you for sharing these beautiful places!!

Hi Selmar, Are you coming to Bruges 😉 We have a spot for your camper. Amaury, Castle ten Berghe

So great you offer him a parking space, Amaury! I think Selmar would love Bruges even more than Ghent. I studied in Ghent but I live in Bruges. I like Ghent but I love Bruges.

Absolutely beautiful to hear the church bells 🔔. What a nice place . Maybe one we will go and visit.

Belgium has some great places to visit, also Brussels many lively Sunday markets, brocantes and much more. Please come both Tatyana and you to visit.

Beautiful place. I must visit there one day

Thankyou Selmar for showing this beautiful city …..your vlogs are full of history and very interesting and informative .❤️

The Castle of the Counts is awesome. It is old..you'll have to take Tatiyana back to see the whole thing.

Beautiful area love the Architecture !!!

Hi Selma and Diesel, what a beautiful place Gent is and wow what a church! Missing you and Tatiana together but not as much as you must be missing her, can’t wait to see your future together lots of love xxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Spent many times there. Love the place.

It reminds me of Amsterdam a lot....Beautiful....Almost time for Sinterclause....

Selma I enjoy seeing the different places show on your blog

💕Selmar remember you will need to get Tatiana a Xmas gift on your travels💕

Thank you Selmar, always wondered what Gent was like as we pass it on our way to the Netherlands.

Amazing walk through Gent!

Beautiful city. Loved the tour you gave us around. Great pity you couldn't go into the castle but perhaps another time. Beautiful churches virtually everywhere you looked definitely didn't like that modern monstrosity of a so called church. Look forward to your next vlog Selmar. Keep safe.

Fijn om nog eens door Gent te wandelen heb eer voor me werk een aantal weken gewoont in het theater dus kon overdag heerlijk door Gent wandelen

Gent is heel mooi heel veel mooie oude gebouwen

Hello Selmar, Thank you for sharing the views, have a wonderful day!

Good morning Selmar and Tatiana. I have counted 21 churches in Gent on the map. That is indeed a lot

Thank you Selmar, for the lovely tour of Gent! What a history filled beautiful city!

That was a good look around Selmar

Absolutely beautiful architecture

Fantastic!

Think this was your best vlog Selmar and the sound was perfect as sometimes I found it hard to hear you. Keep safe.

That modern building is atrocious what are they thinking when they built that there between historical buildings it takes away the historical charm of that town, it’s a monstrosity. Those churches are magnificent, so beautiful and the architecture is amazing. 🌈

Medieval Magical

Enjoyed the walk around Gent. Why oh why would they build such a monstrosity in the center of that square between churches? Its almost as if they want to mar the beauty of this scene of antiquity. Thanks for taking us along. It's a beautiful berg in spite of the ugly building. Love all the churches that were preserved here!

Good Morning Selmar, Dezil. Have a Lovely day. Xx 😘

Well Selmar, if you liked Ghent, the city where I studied, than you will love Brugge (Bruges), the city where I live. Amaury of Castle Ten Berghe offers you a parking space! You really should visit Bruges one day! You will surely like it. Maybe together with Tatyana as it is a very romantic, medieval city and a lot smaller than Ghent.

24:25 there is a nice garden in that arched door !!!

I'd like to know the history of the large building that's not a church. Belgium are more reserved? Wealth?

Oh! I miss that place..I was there before the pandemic 😷 2019/11/18

At 14 I think that is a town hall not a church, but beautiful city. Thanx

Amazing and beautiful video Selmar. XXX Hope you and Tatyana are doing good XXX

Love the castle.

You see the canals. We have a long canal and we skate on it in the winter where I’m from .

Selmar do you have a dog carry bag with you for if Diezel gets too tyerd to walk?

17:40 the old port, with Gravensteen castle behind it

Hoi Selma, de grote Sinterklaasje toren is eigenlijk het Belfort met carrillon :-) maar inderdaad 4 kerken in het stadscentrum van Gent ... De bekendste is de Sint-Baafskathedraal met het Lam Gods van Van Eyck

For researches go to the tartarian meltdown, stuffed beagle, Jonlevi, Spartan red, autodidact 2, Michelle Gibson, mud fossil university, Tyson mud fossil, etc....

👍💐

That modern bldg/ church was probably built after WW2 damage. I think Gent was an unofficial head of the church in mid evil times? Not sure

💜

This Brussels?.... I think 🤔 the Low Countries is very pretty 🤩

I did a little count and there are 12 churches in Old City of Ghent with majority being Catholic.

Agree with you on the modern building and modern art. The building looks so wrong there! I so agree!

Mijn stad 🥰

Thank you Sinta klausa hope I got that right 💜🎵🎵💗

Lovely Selmar. Did you find a little gift to give to Tatyana for when you meet up? ❤️

It’s a long walk for the old boy!

Oops one day we will visit.

Veryi nteresting, but once again I missed Diesel

Preserve the old. Stop with the ugly mundane office blocks. Refurbishment and preservation is needed
