We left Amsterdam this morning and took a four hour train ride. It was chilly, overcast and rainy. In other words, the PERFECT day to travel!
We arrived in Belgium, caught an Uber and our first thought as we neared the center of town was, “OMG, BRUGES!” It was utterly magnificent! I looked at John and immediately said, “I could spend a month here!”
One day a year, the town has a “No car day” and that day was today! The streets were filled with walkers, bikers, street musicians, all adding to the excitement that is Bruges!
We finally sat down, enjoyed a Brewski and people watched! It was SOMUCHFUN!
Then it was back to walking! We walked up and down the canals, in and out of the Belgium chocolate and lace and waffle shops!
We finally found a cute cafe near our hotel (which is adjacent to the main square) and ordered another beer, a salad and a bucket of mussels for dinner! You just can’t go wrong with a bucket of mussels!
Yes, they were as good as they looked! We called it an early night (we’re both nursing colds) and we’re totally psyched for another day in marvelous BRUGES, BELGIUM!
