Quaint

You don't really need to spend that much time in Brugge if only for the experience, but it's lovely here... If you're a partying kind though, it might not be your scene, but if tranquility is your thing, this place is it. Lot's of chocolate shops too.. I love it.

Bruges or Brugge
Bruge is a quaint little town. I mean town, because if there is supposed to be more than 30K people here, it doesn't seem like it. We walked around yesterday & checked out some more places today. It's just so serene. We're staying at Le Coquin, which is by the Canal. Bought plenty of chocolates (of course, but with some self restraint).

In Bruges...
Day two of the trip started with a maiden voyage on Eurostar. Before leaving Shelley saw her old friend Tamara Ecclestone, who was catching a Eurostar for the south of France. Despite collecting the billionairesse's new mobile number, Shelley failed to ask for any Euros to aid our trip, which put me in a bad mood.
A ticket on Eurostar from …

Brugge, Day Two (Nathan)
... little offended- the lady running the store was just a rude, elitist jackass. Most of the people in Brugge seemed pretty nice, though. We visited the Belfry, a massive tower in the center of town, but didn't climb it, since that cost money... amazing ...
