Trip Day 39 – Brugge

A cold wind is blowing and even though the sun is out there is an icy chill in the air. After finding accommodation for this week it is off to Brugge which is a 1 hour train ride.

The train station is a 20 minute walk from the city centre along cobbled stone streets and after buying a map it is off to the centre we go. There are lots of tourist about as I make my way and it is not long before I have found the market square, a short stroll is the canal and the boat trips are very popular, 6.90 for a 30 min ride. The ride twist and turn past 13 century buildings, with the sun shinning it is a nice way to see the city. After 3 hours of exploring it is back to the train station to catch a train back to Brussels, along the way I find a wonderful fountain in a large square with some amazing sculptures.

Day end finds me having eaten a pizza and a waffle for tea planning my next train trip, I think Antwerp could be nice.
