Time flies - but already its been a year since we were married! As a belated 1 year wedding anniversary present to ourselves - we decided to head to Brugge for a weekend of relaxation and luxury.
Michelle had selected a very nice B&B (http://www.sintnik.be/). The owner Sean, who turned out to be from Taranaki was very helpful - and pointed us in the right direction for bars, restaurants and sights. The breakfasts he served up were amazing - all the food came from local producers and it was a great way to start the day. Nothing like chocolate for breakfast right?
Our time in Brugge was very laid back. We did a tour of the canals by boat with a very funny guide - who conducted the tour in 4 languages?! The rest of the time we spent wandering around or sitting in bar or restaurant. The Belgian beers were fantastic - one bar we visited had over 300 to choose from - so there is something for everyone. Even Michelle developed a taste for them. Her favourites were the fruit beers (raspberry etc) and blondes. We also did a tour of a brewery - it took me back to my homebrew days!! The chocolates in Brugge were also very good..... although we didn't over indulge in this respect.We left Brugge very happy and relaxed - although probably a few kilos heavier! Hopefully we will manage a trip back at some stage.

Hi, you don't know me but I am Sarah from Belgium and I found a link to your blog on Rachel Chisholm (Hansen)'s blog and started to read about all your travels. I also read you encountered some Belgian and Dutch boys who did a reality contest called Peking Express. Well, the final of the show was on last Tuesday and the Belgian boy (with the green shirt in your picture) ended second in Lima and it was a young Dutch couple that won. Just thought you'd liked to know.
Enjoy your travels!
