And they are in Gent already wow

This is truly surprising since Gent appears on the map of Belgium to be about 55 miles away, including taking the superhighway in a semicircle south around Antwerp. It should have taken longer based on my guess of the lead Ernie/Cindy and Jeremy/Sandy had on the other teams arrival to Lommel.

Perhaps it's just me (I've never been to Belgium), but I've always seen it spelled Ghent, not Gent. I would have been a bit confused to see Gent and been looking for a small town rather than a large city.

It is spelled Ghent on Google maps. Perhaps Ghent is the American version of Gent.

plaidmoon,
I'm with you, as the English name of that city has always been Ghent and that's the way I know it. However, just like the cities in India have changed names in recent years, so have some in Belgium. Here is a line on the Internet from Tourism Belgique:
Gent/Gand: un week-end géant à Gand - Tourisme Belgique
Note that Gand and Gent are Flemish names for Ghent. Gent is the capital of the East Flanders province and squarely in the Flemish part of Belgium.

I seriously loved this episode, maybe the best in this season?
I loved how the camera just glides perfectly. :tup:
I loved how Phil and the greeter merges, and they faced the direction during Bill & Cathi's exit.
Jobby:
The pit-stop location is darn cool. Just wished that there was more daylight when Andy and Tommy checked-in.. then we could have had the bright day and the night version of the scenery. :tup:
