Flanders by Bike - Day 7

The last day of our bike/barge adventure, people were scattering in all directions. The bikes, and route maps, were available for anyone who wanted a loop ride from Bruges but a lot of people had other ideas. Some had booked walking tours of the historic centre, some had booked massages and spa treatments, others were coordinating the opening hours of various museums to work out which ones to go to first.

Mr Fit-Body chose the bikes.
Ms Office-Body made a list of things she wanted to see in Bruges.

Mr Fit-Body rode along some canals, explored a couple of villages, and enjoyed the views.
Ms Office-Body enjoyed quiet moments in the parks and gardens of Bruges, joined the tourists in a 12th century basilica (rebuilt in the 16th century), wandered through the Gruuthuse Museum, and ate far too many belgian waffles during the day.

A final dinner with our fellow travellers on the barge rounded out the day. We disembark immediately after breakfast tomorrow morning and head off on the next leg of our journey.Read more
