Brugge
Our prayers were answered and the sun shone bright
So we jumped on bikes and headed off at first light.
Everything looked gorgeous, the canals, the bridges the greenness so flat.
But nothing beat seeing this shepard with an injured lamb on his back.
SO CUTE....
Yvonne is quite the poet. We couldn't get another day in our B&B so we moved across the road to a hostel for our last night in Brugge. The weather was beautiful again, so we hired some bicycles and followed one of the cycle ways out of town. We road very leisurely for about two hours, stopping here and there to take in the sites. When we came upon the town of Silius we were very surprised to realise that we had actually crossed over into Holland. I guess Brugge is very close to the border, but still, everything is so close together over here.
After doing almost 40kms on the bikes we were obviously very thirsty. So we found ourselves a spot at the hostel bar and there we stayed until about 1am. I can say that the Belgium beers are very good ... and very potent. Most are around the 8% mark, but some even get up to 12%. This is roughly 2 or 3 times the strength of normal aussie beers, so needless to say I had a hangover 2 or 3 times as bad this morning. I think joining the 100 pint club in Belgium would be a lot harder then it was in Sydney.
