Back to Brussels (Day Fourteen)
After a good night's sleep in my private room, I woke up, checked out, and walked back to the train station. I'm glad I went to Brugge; it was nice to visit a small town after London and Paris. I bought a ticket to Brussels for 7.50€ at the counter and spent the short train ride writing in my journal. I arrived just before one in the afternoon at Brussels North Station.
