Bruges to Brussels

We were up early and out of our very pink Bruges apartment and stashed our bags at the train station while E and I got a table at That’s Toast, which was an incredible breakfast spot. Tige’s steak and chimichurri on toast took the top spot over French toast and my second contender veg breakfast. Rounded out with incredible coffee and a green juice and we had a great start to the day! We met up with our walking tour outside of the Belfort. We walked around Bruges from 11-130 and sampled cookies from the market and learned about the rich history of Bruges from rich and powerful trading city to not, to coming back to life via tourism. The tour ended at De Halve Maan brewery and restaurant, so we stayed for lunch and beer. We made our train at 4 back to Brussels after a brief scare when our luggage locker wouldn’t open, on a very crowded train. We realized when we arrived that the grocery stores close at 6 and dropped the kids at the apartment and walked down to a corner market to shop. Pizza in and settled in for the night:)Read more
