Gorgeous Gorges part 3: Katherine Gorge without Crap

Katherine gorge definitely is our favorite gorge ever. The main reason is that we got engaged right here on a tiny 6m² beach, our beach! We were both sitting in the beautiful blue water with a hundred “nibbeling” fish at our feet and nobody else but the two of us. We simply had to come…

Not Too Bat

As you walk to Katherine Gorge, first you think that the trees have a lot of fruit, ready to eat. But when you take a closer look, you’ll learn that it’s all bats, or actually: flying foxes. As usual: don’t worry! They only eat plant juices, insects and some small animals such as lizards. The…

The Darwin Festival, not quite like the “Gentse Fieste”

Despite the fact that it lasts 17 days instead of 10, the Darwin Festival was nothing like our good old Ghent Festival… It looks great at first sight, with cosy corners, art installations, and even a spiegeltent! There’s also free parking, and the weather is always amazing! However, there’s only one free performance each day,…
