Bruges

Bruges.. I have to mention this great little place. For you in the U.K, this is a great place to visit on a short break and what makes it even more fabulous is that you can travel there by boat (P&O ferries) :)


One of the many fabulous beer shops! :)
I really wanted to tell about this place as it coming up to the perfect time of year to go. Crisp air, open fires, romantic walks, beer and chocolate! Everybody is happy!  


Over the two days we explored the city by canal boat and pedal bike which allowed us to see a lot more.  The city was clean and great for pedestrians and bikers as it was flat. We found some great shops and places to eat including no.17 Academiestraat which was the most magical hideaway (pictured above)! Selling mainly Belgium beer and branded glasses, there was a log fire burning in the back where you could slouch on the sofa and try the beers! It was heaven! 

I would recommend this trip as I thoroughly enjoyed it.  Travelling by ferry is great as you can enjoy the travel time as opposed to being sat and restricted like other forms of transport. Bruges was great to see and I will definitely be going on another mini cruise :)
