Weekend road trip Part 3: Brugge, Belgium


 
Saturday afternoon we left The Abbey of Sint Sixtus in Westvleteren and headed to Brugge. We traveled 40km and arrived about 7:00 PM and checked into the Bourgoensch hof hotel. Great location situated on one of the many picturesque canals!


the entire town looks like a postcard..so amazing!

The Bourgoensch hof  was great! Thanks Trip Advisor!




Sint-Salvatorskathedraal


                                
Nap Time overlooking the canal.
What a life, watching all the tourists pass by in the canal boats!








Sugar waffle with strawberrys and creme, our new favorite desert!

 
The belfry of Bruges. Have you seen the move "In Bruges"?

I recreated a scene from the movie.We gave a British couple "quite a fright" when they came around the corner and saw me laying on the ground with Wendy taking my picture! Then THEY started taking pictures and we all had a good laugh!


Statue in Brugge city center. Great place to sit and listen the the bells from the tower.



View from our hotel room.
We leave tomorrow to go back to Amsterdam... I have to go back to work.
What a great four day weekend!
