    They close at 1pm on Sunday, so be careful not to leave yourself too late as we did once. :(

    Take the turning for De Panne (I think) or Plopsaland (!)
    Don't go over the blue bridge, take the next turning off the roudabout and there's loads of tobacco shops. Not just the ones on the main drag but loads off side streets too near the petrol station
    I haven't got one!
