Beautiful Bruges


After missing our train on Friday evening (a good story you should definitely ask Greg about after he’s had a few Guinness’s) we departed Saturday morning via the Eurostar to meet up with my Dad in Jan in Bruges, Belgium for the weekend.

If you’ve never been, I would highly recommend it for a weekend. It is a quaint, picturesque little European town that my dad says looks like a more authentic version of Disneyland’s European village. After struggling to find an available hotel, we ended up staying at the Hotel Ter Duinen, which had a great breakfast and super service (If you go, be sure to ask for the carriage room on the first floor).

We spent the weekend wandering around, shopping and enjoying mussels, frites, beer, waffles and chocolate. Not bad! It was pretty chilly, but we braved a boat ride through the canals and a few nice long walks including windmills. All the leaves had changed color so it was really beautiful.

All in al a really lovely weekend spent with family.
