No confusion here, all trains go to Paris!

Paris Nord Station, .70€ to pee, wash hands with soap, water and paper towels = worth it.

Paris Nord Station has a free piano for use while you are waiting for your train You gotta love it.

Bruges. Color coded recycling bins with matching liners!

My new favorite beer, for today anyway. Brugse Zot (meaning, Bruges fool) 6.0%ABV.

Sought this place out. Pure me, a little rough around the edges, no frills. LOVED.

In Bruges, literally

May 10, 2018 in Belgium ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

This morning, I took the RER C train from Versailles to St. Michel.
Transferred to RER B train to Paris Nord.
Took the Thaylis High Speed train to Brussels.
Connected to the Intercity train to Bruges.
City bus into town and Voila, here!
Nobody said independent travel is easy!
Actually, it all went super smoothly.
When I got on the train to Bruges, the woman across the aisle leaned over and said "This is 1st Class". I acknowledged that I was aware of that.
Yes, I did look a little travel weary but lordy, attitude from this Euro
Louis Vuitton wanna-be was uncalled for!

Travel tip to live by: read and follow the very clearly posted signage
in stations first, then if you're still unsure, don't hesitate to ask anyone who will listen:)Read more
