Brugge, Belgium

Today is my final day in Brugge. I've stayed in a pretty great hostel thus far (according to some other travelers, it's definitely above average). In about 10 minutes I will make my way across Brugge (it's a small city, 20 minute walk across if you know the right streets to take) to my free hostel (st. christophers bauhaus). I'm not too thrilled to move all my stuff cross-city, but it is free and I might as well take advantage of that.

The people I have met have all left today. It's sad seeing people you meet go their separate ways, but everyone has their own path to take. That's part of living on-the-road. One of the people I met, Adrian, had his Amsterdam plans fall through. His friend who was supposed to house him for a few nights cannot do this anymore. I am now going to be meeting up with him in Amsterdam at the same hostel. I'm pretty happy about that. I leave tomorrow morning at 9:20 and arrive in amsterdam at 13:08 (the trains here are pretty damn good and exact!).

So far in brugge I've seen pretty much everything. Two days here is plenty to see it all. Here are some pictures of what I've done so far. Write to you all in Amsterdam (then Berlin after that).

I climbed this:

The Belfry (the bells rang when we were up there, they play a "melody" but it really doesn'tsound too good).


I took a canal boat tour which was pretty cool.

Above is the only Michaelangelo statue to leave Italy (I think?) Madonna with Child


Lastly, the Church of the Holy Blood. Amazing.
