Brugge

Our last stop for this weekend trip was Brugge. After an eye-opening experience in Amsterdam, it was very refreshing to step foot into such a beautiful city, full of history. We decided to epitomize our touristic ways and take a boat tour of the city throughout the different canals, which proved to be a very educational experience. Not only did we learn about the history of the city by seeing the different buildings and hearing different stories, we were able to experience the means of transportation that was used so long ago. After the boat tour, we walked around the city, indulged yet again in some delicious, yet overpriced, waffles, and enjoyed the antique feel of the city. The buildings are beautiful, made out of stone with gold accents and such minute details. We were even able to find the bar that has been in business since 1515, still decorated with many of the same pieces of the furniture, and even heated by an oven that has been there since. Overall, Brugge was a very quaint city, rich with history and beautiful architecture.
