... fries in the town square with Andolouse sauce (sweet and spicy, mayonnaise based sauce: very yummy). It was a fitting and unhealthy send off to a city that I thoroughly enjoyed living in for two months. Goodbye Brugge, hopefully I will see you again.

... and nice etc. Most of the other customers just come in and give me useful advice about the city and living in Belgium in general. Something I've noticed about the Belgians is that they are an extremely proud nation of people who believe that their ...

Here comes the sun...
May 5, 2006

Ahhh it is spring time and the words of so many songs come to mind. So many songs that I didn't understand the significance of until now. Here comes the Sun by the Beatles is a great example. I didn't (and I don't think other Aussie do either) appreciate ...

Flatland Belgium
Apr 4, 2006

This week has been completely different to the last in Brugge. I have met heaps of cool people and I have finally settled into the apartment! In the apartment I also have my own room now! Even though it has four beds in the room, there is no one else ...

Belgium

We traveled there from Paris. Our aims were to go to Bruges to stay a couple of days there. We took the chance to visit Brussels while we were looking for a Tintin's comic to buy and deciding which transport was the most adequate to go from Brussels to ...

Go to Bruges, everyone else does.
Sep 22, 2009 (6 photos)

We headed into town as soon as we could. My first impression was "yeah, I can see why people love Bruges." And I could see how these people think it is just the absolute best little medieval town ever in the whole wide world. I'm thinking these people ...

Great little town, just like the movie but better!

... from there, then walked to the "Upper Town” where the museums and palace is.  One thing I can say for Brussels, and Belgium in general so far, is that they’ve got art placed everywhere in public places.  So went to a museum, saw a ...

... past 20 years! Brugge - population 30,000 daily tourists 50,000. The secret of our 1988 tour has been well revealed. Brugge has suffered a little from its entry into the tourist mainstream - nearly all of the businesses are cafes or hotels and it was ...

Chocolate, Beer, and Waffles
Oct 20, 2006

On my own in Brugge. Think that really all there is to do here is drink beer, eat waffles, and sample the chocolate. With that in mind I tried to find running shoes today, I don't think they like running here because I didn't find any. I found a waffle ...

In Brugges
Jul 15, 2009

I've never seen the movie, In Brugges, though apparently this town is much cooler if you can relate to the movie. I don't know. It's a very small place. All of the sights are easily accessible by foot, though there are not many. I walked around for two ...
