More participants here at Sarcastic Mom Weekly winners

Last Monday I went to the little town Blankenberge at the Belgian coast. To get there, read my post below !


Coming out of the station I was greated by this lady


Amongst all new buildings, there was one old left.






a terrible rush to the beach






ugly buildings all along the beach to house sun hungry people


a nice beach

and a 350-m long pier, constructed in 1933.






many people enjoying the sea

    That looks pretty awesome to me -- I live in Alaska and it is already starting to feel like autumn. A great set of photos!

    You are so right about the ugly apartment blocks. They look like Soviet Socialist style housing.

    It is one of those summers. If there is a chance of a warm sunny day desperate peolpe rush to the beach.

    That is a fun little building. I love old architecture like that. The beach shots are great. So many people!

    Looks like you had a great time despite the crowds! Getting there was something else, oh dear!

    The beach and pier look lovely, but the buildings really are dreadful looking. I love that one old building!

    It is a verrrrrry wide beach... and the waves are so small ... it is more like our bay than the Ocean. I thought SEAS were BIG WAVES like Oceans. I learn something EVERY day! (and MUCH from you!) LOL!

    are those ugly buildings for bloody tourists like me? yikes! an eyesore - we wanted to go one time to the seaside in belgium but decided not to so those might have been the ferienwohnung/holiday apartments they were renting us? hmm

    Blankenberge gets so crowded. I am a big fan of De Panne myself, even though the cafes and restaurants tend to be a bit over priced at that end of the coast.
