Beautiful Brugge.
Upon waking we had decided to drive directly into Bruge in Belgium, which is one of the oldest preserved medieval cities in Europe. We had been inspired to see it after watching the movie 'In Bruge' with Colin Farrel back at home. Therefore we were on the ...

Yes, well, I said that this place needed it's own story! On the 'local's map' of Bruges that you get when you arrive in the hostel, there is a place marked on there called 'Willy's Place' (aka Lucifernum) - and the description just sounded too cool to ...

Outer Rim of Brugge
... out today alone following a walking path that was in one of the guides. Following the walking tour is really kind of pointless in Brugge. Every guide has its own tour, and most of the streets are no different than the rest anyways. After a few blocks I ...

Beautiful Bruges. But where's the chicken stall
So we made our usual stop in Bruges. But disaster 1. A circus has parked on our overnight parking carpark. Solution found - we found a carpark where people were going instead and parked next to a converted old ambulance! Disaster 2. The circus was ...
Battlefields and a Medieval town
... houses here are made of brick. The reason for this (I found out on the tour today -- more about that later) is that Belgium is covered with clay (something like 18 feet deep), so bricks are very cheap to make, whereas wood is scarce on account of ...
