Belgium
After a really early start to catch the Eurostar, we headed to Belgium. More specifically Bruges. Here we spent three days exploring the landmarks of Bruges, and partaking in a walking tour with an over excitable American guide. He gave us a basic overview and some history of the town and pointed out some good eateries and things to do for free!

So after the tour we headed off on our own and visited the Brugge Zot brewery tour, including a free beer and you can go onto the roof for some scenes of Bruges. We also saw some real working windmills, lots of canals, and even more chocolatiers.

Belgian waffles are the mutts!
One of the main sights we went to was the church of the holy blood, a church with a vessel containing the blood of Christ.

Our personal favourite place to visit was "De Garre". A pub on the smallest road in Bruges, offering 130 differnt beers, of which we tried 12. This Included the house special brew; a 12% beer named after the bar, and each customer is limited to three 330ml glasses. I might add that the drinks sampled where over a number of nights!
