'If I had grown up on a farm...
...and was retarded, Bruges might impress me. But I didn't, so it doesn't.'
Watching "In Bruges" on route to the city did not inspire confidence in the place we were about to visit for 4 nights. However, we're glad to say that Colin Farrell was definitely wrong. Bruges is a lovely place- very picturesque. They also have 11% beer (which comes with a small bowl of cheese- something for everyone!) The chocolate is also delicious!
