• Day 2 in Brugge, Belgium

    April 19 in Belgium ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    Today, we and the Snow's had a leisurely start to our day with a small breakfast "snack" & coffee then went to look for a breakfast Cafe. We meandered around the Market Square, Provincial Palace and the Kissing Bridge and then Burg Square before meeting up with the Windt's & Mackenzie's for a Canal Boat Tour. We had a 30 minute ride passing under many bridges and seeing the sites from the water. We learned that the greater the number of steps on the roofline of the houses indicated the wealth of the family. Next stop was Pur Chocolat, our new favorite Chocolate truffle spot, and on to see the white swans, then the Nunnery with the whitewashed dwellings and peaceful spaces.
    We took some photos by Minnewater Lake, walked around it to enjoy a beer on the Patio of the Restaurant on the Lake. We walked back to our Airbnb in time to meet Paula & Hoge, who just arrived in Belgium. We had some appetizers and drinks then walked for dinner where we tried traditional Flemish stew & shrimp croquettes. We ended our night with a walk to Market Square to see it lit up at night. Another fun day with friends🥰
