Go by Eurotunnel. We go to Belgium/Hollan every year to visit family and over to Calais to fill up the wine rack on numerous occassions. Eurotunnel is the quickest and easiest route. You are in Calais within 35 mins and then its very easy, straighforward and relatively quick to drive from there to Ostend.
Sorry Janice, I meant to say in my post - I always book on line. The site is www.eurotunnel.co.uk. We're booked for the first week in June at a cost of £127. You can just turn up and they will put you on the first available train but I like to book ahead to get the times I want and also you can see if there are any promotions.
In what other country can you go into a bar and they give you a beer menu? There is a bar in Brugge that has over 1000 different bottled beers on sale! Not that I am complaining mind you.
But I did go to an organised beer festival in Djiksmuide last October ......and it was rubbish. Purely for the tourists. We stuck it an hour and went into Oostende for the night. Had a great time.
Driving from Calais to Belgium is so easy, I may pop over again in the summer.
