More Bruges
This brewery tour
Takes you to the top of their building, with a great, if not misty, view of the city.
As Jim mentioned we did climb the tower and it's 366 steps, but before we did that, we did over 200 steps at this brewery, and of course, had multiple beers. If you're not climbing steps and drinking beer, you're not doing Europe right.
Stunning city view from the top of the belfry.
Bruges is a city whose original footprint was surrounded by a ringed canal. To enter the city, you could pass through one of several gates covering the cardinal directions. Jim and I rented bikes and did the ring, passing by each gate. Here's the last one. By the way, cobblestone plus pretty poor quality rental bike equals sore butt for several days.
Bolognese flavored potato chips
Dragon bench. More on why this is interesting to follow in a subsequent Ghent post.
Hostel life, drink beer, play cribbage, access wifi to plan for tomorrow
Ohh, and this is Belgium, so there was chocolate, but we ate it all.
This is my favorite post yet! Sorry for the blast of late comments. Looks like you guys are having such a great time. I'm glad you're capturing it here :)
