Bruges has been on our list of places to visit for the past two years. It seems to be on all ex-pat year 1 itineraries. Somehow we've never booked the trip - but this year we were pleased to go there in March via the
Eurostar. It was bright and sunny, but quite crisp.
We stayed at the
Kempinski, Duke's Palace Hotel - a 15
th century converted palace. (
hmmm, not too obvious.)
We enjoyed a day of strolling, a nice hot lunch of mussels and
frites, some chocolate shopping in the beautiful
easter-laden boutiques and loved the quaint streets.
Dinner on Saturday night: we were originally told that
De Karmeliet was booked. But after arriving...some how
TJ talked us into a table. It truly did not
disappoint...thanks
Charecky's for the recommendation.
On Sunday had a fantastic run down along the canals, and ran up to the windmills. You can see
all the pictures here! And read a good review of Bruges via Jancis Robinson here!
More on the painting later...
