Tournai

Belgium, April 2005 

After leaving Ypres, we headed for Tournai.  Anka was keen to revisit the town where at the tender age of 16, she had spent several pleasant days performing Polish folk dances with her Polish folk dancing group and kissing foreign boys from other folk dancing groups. 

Personal memories aside, it was a pleasant place to stop for lunch and wander around the Easter market.  And Tournai, together with Tongren in Flanders, is the oldest city in Belgium.

Around Town

Grand Place

Town Hall.  Apparently, the folk dancing festival was held here. 

No idea who this geezer is.

A lovely view of the Cathedral and houses.

Lovely old dilapidated house in one of the back streets

Beatles graffiti.  No idea why this was on the wall.  But graffiti rarely comes with explanations.
