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 Bruges... at last we decided to take the train that is always more comfortable... Nice country, …
Brugge and Mussels in Brussels
Megg and I arrived in icy Bruges in the arvo, and after finding our hostel went for a walk to see the sites. It's kind of like Cesky Krumlov in that it’s pretty small and there isn’t actually much to do apart from admire the ancient buildings and canals. We saw the 'Belfry Tower’ in the main Markt square, but it was a rip-off to …
On yer bike
After leaving a very cold London embankment, the coach took us to Dover and on to Bruge. we arrived at The hostel, which was more like a nightclub come bar with bunk beds. a bit tatty and smelt of stale beer and cigarettes. A local guide met us and took those of us who wanted to on a brilliant cycle ride around Bruge, over some very cobbled streets …
Day 4
Day 4: Well, today I slept in too late, due to my being in a hotel. I ended up waking up a little before 12:00, blah. I rushed my ass to the train and got a cheapo ticket to Brugges, Belgium; the only city recommended by Rick Steves to visit in Belgium, which I highly disagree with. He wrote far too much about France. If you really want to visit …
Day 5
Day 5: I actually got up early enough today to do everything I wanted to do! (almost). I woke up to a snow blizzard, and it's been snowing/sunny on and off all day today. Crazy ass Belgian weather. I started off by climbing up to the top of the Belfry here, which gave an awesome view of the city and surrounding areas. At 88 meters high, it was good …

TravelPod Member ReviewsCharlie Rocket's Brugge
This is the type of place where groups 18-year old Swedes spend their nights. It's pretty lousy for married people. They're very slow about reception and they obviously hadn't prepared any room because we were waiting in the bar for them to give us a habitation. When we arrived in the room, someone's stuff was already there. So they made us wait in someone elses room for 40 minutes until they could figure it out. But they also were mad at us for being in this other room while they were straightening up. The hostel smells incredibly bad. Breakfast was white bread. The room was dark and hot and didn't have outlets that could fit any kind of voltage adaptor known to man. Everybody was basically a jerk. I've got no love for this place.
