Brugge Belgium

Yesterday morning, we boarded a Eurostar train at the wonderful London St Pancras station and in only 2 hours we arrived at Brussels. A change of trains and an hour later we arrived in Brugge. Train travel in Europe is so easy and I love being able to watch the countryside glide past. 

After we arrived, we spent a few hours walking around looking at all the beautiful buildings and then found a little bar where we decided to have a cold Belgian beer (or possibly two) and watch all the beautiful people walking past. As you may have heard, it's quite warm in Europe at the moment, although not as bad as Brisbane in the summer! Last night, we found a nice little restaurant and had some Belgian Mussels. Yum!

Today, we did what we love best and spent about 5 hours walking around discovering historic buildings and little squares. And after trying the beer and mussels yesterday, today we HAD to try the Belgian chocolate. There seems to be a chocolate or beer shop on every corner! 

There is so much history here and at every corner there seems to be a photo opportunity.

                         

                                          

                         

                         

                         

                         

                                          

                                            

                          

Tomorrow we visit Flanders Fields and the site of the WW1 Battlefields.
