Travel another way

Our first day in the Belgian Flanders was another sunny day that we spent leisurely on the beach in Ostende. Some enjoyed sunbathing, some rode bikes on the boardwalk and others simply indulged in eating waffles and drinking beer.

We spent today visiting Bruges. After a walking tour of the old medieval town, we took a boat ride on the canals (there are 5 kms of canals in town with 80 bridges) to enjoy views that cannot be seen from the street.

Barabra was the bravest of all of us and decided to climb up the 366 steps of the Belfry tower to discover the town from above: she said there were some beautiful views from up there.

Mary tasted one of the most famous beer sin Bruges: the Kwak beer,  served in a round-bottomed glass hanging on a wooden stand.

Dinner will be in Damme tonight, and we will spend tomorrow in Brussels, that we will reach by train.
