Photos from Brugge

I still had some photos from my trip to Belgium and since I haven't been taking many photos of my day to day life in Utrecht these are the ones I decided to post.
I took a lot of trains. Here are a couple of train stations.
Below is a photo from my first night in Brugge. The streets and buildings are very old. This more residential part of the city was one of the only places that was not packed with tourists.


The famous and beautiful canals of Brugge did not disappoint

There were lots of tiny little streets. These houses have been inhabited since the middle ages.


Scenic View looking toward the main city center.
There are lots of good bakeries in Belgium. I am not quite sure why there was a happy baker on the outside of this building but it made me want to eat a tart.
So, I went and bought a bosenberry tart for breakfast and ate it in the park.
Then I went and visited the famous cathedrals in Brugge.

I had a picnic dinner at the windmills that overlooked the city. Overall it was a great day in Brugge.
After I had a good time in Brugge I headed to Ghent and spent the night in a great hostel. Not only were the couple who ran the hostel hospitable and friendly but the hostel was on a houseboat! The couple who owned and ran the hostel were committed to making their hostel entirely sustainable. It was great a place to stay and I had a lot of fun here.

Above is the common room.
