Train to La Panne – end-of-line
Working farms, Tielt's rows of leeks
Ripening corn, lost village streets...
A meander skirting Flemish fields
Tractors garner harvest yields ...
The coast abuzz – deep sapphire skies
Beach overshadowed by high-rise.
The dunes are just a walk away
Glass-fronted bars keep sand at bay!
Once-in-a-lifetime thing to do
Take the kusttram – see the view!
Families stroll along the digue
Residential villas at Coxyde
Nieuwport-on-Yser with huge locks
Floodgates – the German army stops!
Colonnades and Kursaal at Ostend
Grey waves and buildings never end!
At Middelkerke - a brief stop
A luscious ice cream hits the spot!
Blankenberge - now run-down,
A family-oriented town
At last - Nirvana! Knokke-Heist
Where accommodation is high-priced!
Six Euros for a full day's ride
Intriguing views on every side
Amazing coastal revelation:
A bargain and an education!
