Belgium

Jun 25, 2008 10:08

Belgium is a very beautiful country, and we all agreed, friendlier than France when it comes to interacting with random people on the street. We started in Brugge, which lived up to its expectations for charm and beauty. Carl was informed of a good Hostel near the center city which turned out to be very decent indeed. The dormitory style rooms slept 15 people and I think there were 3 rooms on our floor that shared a very small bathroom with a single toilet (a sink was out in the common area). It wasn't that much of a problem though, I guess for the most part everyone was on different poop schedules. There was one shower room for the place which was basic but go the job done.

We did the important things to do in Brugge: climed the 366 steps of the belfry tower and then ate frieteken with all sorts of fun and tasty sauces in The Markt, walked along the canals, visited the old windmills and chilled out in one of the pleasant and quiet parks. At the end of the day (by now it was Friday) we headed back to the train station where Curtis started his journey back to Amiens so as to make his flight back to the states Saturday morning and Carl and I headed up to Oostende. Since a lot happened in the 3 days I was in the Oostende area I will start a new post.
