• Day 2 - Bruges

    September 6, 2024 in Belgium ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    Our first full day in Bruges and we wanted to make the most of a cool weather forecast, so we braved the possibility of rain and walked the couple of miles into the centre of Bruges for a bit of sightseeing. It was quite busy and noisy, so we hit our ‘must see’ areas straight away. For me it was one of the best rated Chocolate shops in the town - Dumon, and Charlie wanted to have an authentic waffle and House of Waffles certainly hit the spot! We then walked back to camp for a McCoy favourite lunch - bread and cheese!
    We had a restful afternoon, Beccy wandered over to the closest pet shop to stock up on some meaty snacks for Marla (can’t believe we found hairy rabbit ears and chicken feet - Marla’s favourites!). We had a late afternoon appointment with a local vet who declared Marla a good girl and happily issued her with a Pet Passport to make future travel into the EU so much easier - you can see from the photos that Marla is thrilled by this 😂.
    Back to camp again for a van staple dinner of tomato pasta, we have a couple of Belgian beers to follow and an early night is on the cards after all this fresh air.
