Journeys Far and Wide (the back catalogue) - #2 Brugge






In October last year, me and Nick went to Brugge, Belguim. It was honestly, one of the nicest, prettiest, quaintest, cutest places I have ever been. We were super lucky as the weather was fab for an Autumn day and, literally everything was so picturesque, all the streets and shops looked like they were straight from a post card. It was a perfect place to visit for a day trip because it was quite small and we definitely got round it all without any problem and with little map reading/planning, and it just felt so relaxed. You know you sometimes get that insane rushed feeling in cities because you are in such a massive place and everyone is running around like a crazy person trying to go about their normal every day business? Brugge didn't have that feeling, at all. Probably because it isn't a big city (in fact, it's teeny tiny), but it was a lovely gentle atmosphere and I couldn't recommend it highly enough! We just lazily walked around the city centre, bought a few bits and bobs, admired all the chocolate shops, went in a couple of museums, had some lunch, walked by the canal (which had a market on a tree lined path just by it, so cute it hurt my heart), had tea and a waffle in a beauty of a tea shop and then slowly made our way back to the train station with time to spare. It was great! No running round trying to catch tubes, or dodging through throngs of people like so many other cities I've been to. Just thinking about it is making me relaxed! Unfortunately, we didn't actually get to go into The Hobbit pub because it had strange opening times and we were gone by the time it opened it's doors!

The above pictures were all taken with my DSLR whilst out and about, so below are a few cheeky Instagrammies I snapped whilst we were away as well :)


Until next time :)
