This weekend Jamie and I got up early Saturday morning and made our way to Brugge, Belgium. It was such a quaint and beautiful city. Old buildings and architecture, canals and waterways, chocolate shops on every corner. Basically we just enjoyed the old city and their home brewed beer. The Christmas markets opened on Friday so there were tons of festivities of ice skating and music and glühwein. Below is the city center/market at night.
Sunday we woke up, put on our same clothes as the day before, stole bread and a knife from breakfast at our hostel so we wouldn't have to spend money on lunch and walked through the pouring rain to the station to get to Brussels.
Brussels was great as well with the Christmas markets and we tried Belgian waffles. They were so difficult to eat that it kind of ruined the experience. Whipped cream was dripping everywhere as we stood on the street and attempted to eat them without a huge mess. Although it looks a lot like bird poop, below is a pic of our drippings on the street as well as my shoe. We left Brussels after a few hours because we couldn't take the rain anymore.
