Bruges

Yesterday, we did a day trip to Bruges, Belgium, which is about 2 hours by bus from Lille. Since I’ve been to Bruges several times before I didn’t do anything very touristy-mostly just wandered around.

We started off by walking along the most that surrounds the town.

This bridge spins to let boats/barges through (not sure if you can tell in the picture)
One of the original entry gates to the town
There are also several windmills along the edge of town

After all that walking, it was time for lunch:

We ate at a restaurant in this square (sculpture is of a famous Belgian painter, Jan VanEyck)
Lunch-Flemish Chicken Stew, salad and fries

After lunch we wandered, here are some of the pictures I took:

We ended the day with some chocolate shopping and waffles!

Unfortunately, the temperatures were not kind to my chocolates 😢

Ended the day meeting everyone in the main square before the bus ride back to Lille.

Next up: Lyon!
