I am so tired, but my reading public needs to be kept abreast (all 3 of you).
Tomorrow is huge as we tackle the Bayeux Tapestry, and the beaches of Normandy, plus a 4-5 hour drive. I don’t want to get up early, especially with losing an hour tonight. The rolls and salami we snagged at breakfast will be our dinner. When did travel become such work?
Brugge is the northern Venice. It is a city of canals, very old homes, 21 churches, and tourists!
We ate Belgium waffles, Belgium chocolate, saw Belgium lace, and took a canal boat ride (sorry, no Brussel sprouts). This country is divided in two halves; the Flemish side (they like the Dutch) and the French side (they don’t like the Dutch) and neither side likes each other. But Brugge is awesome.
We traveled nearly 3 hours to get here, and when we arrived, it was like the bus let out…thousands of people on a chilly day? It was great, and we didn’t fight!
We had a great day today…Lucy was a little ornry first off and we traveled by the seat of our pants for awhile, but she got her act together. Brugge was awesome and we took a canal ride and had Belgium Waffles and Belgium chocolate and bought a Belgium Lace bookmark. Do I have to eat Brussel Sprouts while I am here too?
Now we are at a military hotel across from the NATO base outside of Brussels in their computer center. We have time change tomorrow, but I hope I can still sleep in.
FYI
The naming of the car??? It is still up for grabs. Andy votes for a Swedish name (Gail’s delivery van is “Brutus”).
