Brugge - bikes, beer & bloody good chocolate

Hello all - seems like a while - here are a few snaps of our first bank holiday - well spent in Brugge, Belgium. We didn't really know what to expect and had a great time exploring this quaint little city biking around the canals. I absolutely loved seeing everyone on bikes - made so much easier by the fantastic cycleways (and lack of steep Wellington hills).

We also went on a Chocolate Crawl around the many specialty shops, did the standard canal cruise and a peek at the local crafts. Was great to bump into Tom and Olivia on the street and have some mates to catch up with and enjoy a couple of local beers.




We tried to bike to the coast but had no idea where to go so decided instead to return back to the comfort of more beer and chocolate.




We had a quick look at Brussels before we got back on the Eurostar - though not surprisingly all we did there was buy beer and chocolate.

ah, makes me a bit homesick for Europe! It's great to get across to the continent for long weekends. Ah, that chocolate sounds fantastic. Chocolate and beer - talk about combining pleasures.
