    Day 174: Exploring Bruges

    August 7, 2017 in Belgium ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Full day for exploring this beautiful city, though unfortunately the weather wasn't quite as good as yesterday - a bit overcast and cloudy, though not much rain to speak of.

    First stop was the main square, where I did some filming of the belfry since that's part of the world heritage listing. Decided to shell out the 10 euros to climb to the top, all 366 stairs! Great view from up top, though sadly Shandos couldn't climb as dogs weren't permitted to go up (unsurprisingly).

    Back down, we wandered around and filmed wherever took our fancy. Nice buildings, pretty squares, canals, the usual stuff. Grabbed some lunch at a small cafe with great baguettes for good prices, a rare find in this tourist-heavy town.

    Basically just spent the day wandering around and eventually headed back home mid-afternoon for a rest. Went out later in the evening for dinner, decided to have Italian food so I had a quattro stazioni pizza and Shandos had a salmon tagliatelle pasta. Good stuff.
