Brugge - Chocolate and Lace

We spent the whole day in Brugge. The guides told us that Ghent was under construction - not much to see.

Brugge is a medevial town that somehow never got destroyed and was pretty much abandoned for many years until it was recent "rediscovered" and is now a cultural heritage center.


We saw many fantastic building styles, in it's was a wealthy port town.



We took a canal tour. The canals were no way as impressive or complicated as Amsterdam's but it's still very scenic. (I didn't photoshop that sky although it looks fake to me)



These dogs have an interesting life. Instead of chasing cars, they get to bark at all the passing canal boats. They were hilarious!


Brugge is famous for its beer too. We were tired and thirsty after wandering around the town for 3 hours. Lee had a blonde strong beer, it was very good, actually brewed in the bottle. I had a cherry beer which the waiter recommended for ladies who don't like beer.



So these are the only tulips I've really seen enmasse. I've been told we'll see lots of them at Kukenhoff Gardens - not to worry!
