Day Trip to Knokke Heist - Belgium


We went to the Carlton Hotel for coffee. It's a magnificent old hotel that hasn't so much been restored but maintained. The interior looks as original as it's 1910 origins. The covered patio area is a cafe where I actually managed to get a Cafe Americano that was (almost) as good as Starbucks.

Despite it being December, and with a stiff wind blowing from the North Sea making it decidedly uncomfortably cold, the cafe, indeed the whole town, was bristling with visitors.
