Dateline: Europe, Bruges Belgium Sunday 10th April 2011

Fine and cool to mild.
From St Pancras International Station  in London we travel via Brussels to Bruges arriving late afternoon.  Bruges is a World Heritage Site with most of its medieval architecture intact.

On the train to Bruges

Out hotel the Ter Rein sits alongside one of the many canals running through the old centre of Bruges.    A very picturesque place with narrow streets and swans swimming on the water.

The roads are typical  grey cobblestones.  Bicycles suddenly appear from nowhere.  While motor vehicles are restricted to one way bikes are allowed to travel either direction.   Very tricky when crossing a road!  





How come there aren't any 'B' batteries?
