Afternoon in Bruges

The rain set in again so we headed back to the apartment to wait it out. We really aren’t enjoying the continual wet weather. It seems to be following us from town to town. Once it stopped again we headed back out to see a bit more of Bruges in the beautiful Spring afternoon sunshine. It is hard to believe we have had such a wet and overcast morning as we now get to enjoy blue skies and warm sunshine. The perfect weather to stop and enjoy some drinks and the pomme frites (chips) we have been told to try here. Brad’s beer was the biggest we have ever seen and he almost needed two hands to lift it. It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon.

Bruges is a beautiful city and we loved exploring the pretty streets and laneways, strolling through the nearby garden, and enjoying the interesting architecture. It was hard to stop clicking the camera at every interesting and intricate detail. This town has surprised me and it has been a pity the weather has stopped us from exploring more in-depth. It may be worth another visit.

With the weather holding off Brad decided to venture out again once the sun set to take some night photos of this beautiful town. I choose to stay rugged up and warm. One thing that we are not use to here is how late the sun sets. Brad had to wait until after 9.30 to see the city by night but his photos were worth the effort.Læs mere
