Bruges...

Sorry it's been so long since I've written...been busy. Starting to figure things out here...if only I could find a decent deodorant!

Glen and I spent the weekend in Bruges a few weeks ago...lovely hotel...gorgeous old town. It's known as an outdoor museum...which is most definitely is. Loads of interesting old building and churches. I convinced (he might say forced :-) ) Glen to do a two hour walking tour of the city, the sky wasn't a lovely blue but I'm sort of used to that now, it doesn't necessarily mean anything. Well about 10 mins in two the tour the skies opened and rain like I've never seen here came down! Torrential - think caribbean storm! We had my tiny umbrella between the two of us! But did we give up? No we carried on to the end of the tour, with loads of stops just inside buildings :-) It's like Venice in that it has canals all over the city, it's not like Venice in that you don't get totally lost the first walk you take! Here's a picture of one of the boat tours during the rain storm...

And of course as we were in Belgium we couldn't possibly avoid trying some yummy belgium waffles...fresh waffle and melted belgian chocolate with banana and ice cream...definitely didn't go wrong on this one :-)





We'll be in Toronto on the 15th of August for two nights only... see you soon!
