Bruges

October 18, 2008 | | 1 Comment




On Monday 6th October we arrived in Zeebrugge and took the coach transfer to Bruges station to spend the day there before going onto Terneuzen.  Fortunately the weather was beautiful which only helped to enhance the beauty of the city.  Our day in Bruges turned into probably one of the most dramatic of the whole visit with lost jackets (cough), almost lost passports (mine), lost luggage locker tickets (groan) and striking public workers in Belgium … but we survived and discovered what a beautiful city Bruges is.

We spent the morning discovering Bruges for ourselves, finding the lovely fountain a ‘t Zand and also discovering Pizza Hut (shaking of head from teachers).  After lunch (not at Pizza Hut) we were net by staff and pupils from a school in Bruges who used us to practise their English.  We were guided round the city in small groups, seeing places such as the place where the medival relic of Christ’s Blood can be found, the canals and many art galleries.  We all met back up at ‘t Zand, got our luggage back from the station and were taken by coach to Terneuzen.

A thoroughly enjoyable day!
