19 September 2015- Bruges
We all had a very needed good night's sleep and all woke up ready to undertake another full day. After a copious breakfast of local breads from the bakery down the road with a selection of European cheeses, the clan left the house bound for Bruges. We all went down to the train station for the hour long drive to this historic city made famous for its beautiful lace. We walked for hours taking in the sights, the local architecture and enjoying the traditional fares of Bruges. Their vol au vent was delicious, their serving of mussels in a basil and wine sauce was huge and their local Flemish stew was very flavorful but the meat was a bit hard. All in all, a gourmet meal.
We walked through a beautiful park with a canal filled with beautiful white swans.
We also went to a beguinage where until the last century a religious order resided. The place was very sereine. The day was great and our youngest member was good as gold. We finally made it home after 10 for a much needed rest. Tomorrow, we fly to Berlin. In case you are wondering, we are still all good friends.
