("Greetings from Bruges!" in Dutch)
One of the reasons that I have been quiet for a few months is that we spent last weekend in the beautiful city of Bruges - a special trip to celebrate our fifth anniversary.
We got the Eurostar from St Pancras at 6.30am (thankfully we have friends who live near there so we stayed at their house - otherwise we would have had to get the first train form Tonbridge...at 4.30am!) and were in Bruges my midday.
Our hotel was on a canal in the centre of Bruges:
We didn't do all of the touristy things, preferring to avoid the crowds, but we did go on a boat tour and spent a lot of time wandering around the old city streets and sitting in old bars drinking trappist beer - which is delicious! Here are some of the highlights in pictures:
It really is a beautiful city and 2 nights wasn't really long enough - hopefully we'll be able to go again soon.
