| Bruges Town Centre |
On the 16th of October we caught
a bus from Amsterdam to Brussels followed by train, an hour north to Bruges.
Here we stayed 2 nights at Snuffle Hostel. The hostel was quite small and had a
spiral staircase that led up to the dorm rooms.
Bruges is quite a small town which reminded
me a lot of Prague. It is a very touristy town, although very quaint at the
same time. On our first night we found a great Belgium restaurant but it was
booked out for the night so we ended up having Thai food, which was
surprisingly nice!

The following day we hired bikes from our
hostel and rode a little around the town before riding along the canal to
Damme, a very small village about half an hours ride from Bruges. After looking
around we continued on with a goal to reach the Belgium coastline. Although the
ride was very flat it felt like we had been riding for hours before we finally
reached the small beach town, Heist. By the time we got there it was almost 5pm
so we decided to take a couple of quick photos and then find the train station
in hope that we could catch a train back to Bruges. Our hopes had been answered
and it took around half an hour by train to reach the main station.
We spent our last day walking around town
buying famous hand made Belgium chocolate and taste testing Belgium beer before
catching the afternoon train back to Brussels where we stayed the night.
Brussels was very dirty and a bit like a
concrete jungle in comparison to Bruges.
That night we flew out of Beligum to
Venice.
