Out and about in Brugge

We were out and about by 9am before the crowds of English that come across for the weekend and many others.The buildings here are like fairyland it's just beautiful with the sound of the horse and carts clip clopping along the old cobbled streets.

We took a tour through a Belgium brewery called De Halve Maan (the Half Moon) the only one left here in Brugge with over 1000 different beers and bottle over 4million litres a year.

We continued on our walk then took a boat ride on the canal through the centre of Brugge which was great.

It was now time to try a hot chocolate with real Belgium chocolate but I was disappointed with that then later a waffle which wasn't great either. So now we have been through the Belgium specialties.
We took a walk around the outer area of the centre where we saw people's homes all with their lovely old push bikes parked at their doors, leather seats and handlebars ~ Tony likens their houses to dolls houses.
Apparently the more steps you have on your roof the wealthier you are.
It was time to rest our weary legs, then found a tasty very cheap restaurant called The Chicken House.

  1. You haven't tried all the Belgium specialties yet - you haven't had chips and mayo yet!
