Part II: Bruges

As Ross already mentioned, Bruges is gorgeous. It is like a fairytale European city. Almost all of the center has remained intact from it's medieval history. When walking through the maze-like city, it's almost impossible not to stop and pull out your camera every 20 steps.


The weather was terrible, though. It was windy, cold, and we even had snow!


But the weather doesn't stop the healthy tourism industry of Bruges:


We found enjoyable ways to keep out of the cold:


Other fun activities included playing in wooden toy stores; sampling delicious treats in chocolate and candy shoppes (which are every other store), and eating waffles. To work all this off, we climbed the 300 and something incredibly steep, narrow and dangerous stairs to the top of the bell tower in the Grote Markt. After that workout, we treated ourselves with some fries.

Here's some photos of the beautiful Bruges:










Enjoy the time? Yes, we did.
