After our beer run to Westvleteren, we decided to drive to the coast. We were only a few minutes away and decided on the closest coastal city - De Panne, Belgium.
It was terribly cold and windy, naturally, as it is January.
Winslow didn't seem to notice the cold. He had a big time!
De Panne is the western-most city in Belgium and borders France.
You can actually see Dunkirk, France in the distance in the photo above.
Much of the beach was covered in these broken shells. I dug a hole several inches deep and never reached sand - just more shells.
We definitely had the beach to ourselves. Well, except for this horse and buggy. I was so surprised when I saw it off in the distance. The following video will give you an idea of just how chilly it was!
After a numbing stroll on the beach, we drove around the center of town. Definitely nice enough to warrant another visit - in the spring or summer.
