So with any road trip you're bound to have some adventures - or encounter things that you don't expect. That for us on Wednesday morning included a flat tire. Can I say how happy we were that Sharon is fluent enough in French to have it not be a huge deal?!
Unfortunately it did put us back a few hours - so any/all side trips to Bruges were canceled.
Bruges is exceptionally nice...and we really enjoyed our two nights(and full day) there. The first one included a stellar Italian restaurant, Carlito's - and swans in the canal beside our hotel. I mean how often do you get that on a holiday.
Our full day there offered up quite the variety - starting with a walk to the square and a climb up 366 stairs to the top of the bell tower. Wouldn't be so bad except the stairs were extremely narrow - and could be quite challenging when passing people going the other direction! So of course the answer to that was having our first pint of the over 500 types of beer that Belgium brews at the one brewery in the city center of Bruges. Followed up by some sightseeing (the canals are great - and are quite different than those in Venice) and another brewski. I love being on holiday...and made even sweeter since our government is going back to work! Finally!! Which means the U.S. sights will be open. Yea us!
