Bruges(Belgium)

B stands for Brugge (in dutch), Belgium. It's actually a city or rather, small town in Belgium. The english 'name' of Brugge is Bruges. According to Wiki, along with a few other canal-based northern cities, it is sometimes referred to as "The Venice of the North". 3 days 2 nights trip there from 21/6 to 23/6.

Saw this when we were on the way from the train station to the hotel. I dun understand it.
Not long after we checked into the hotel, we set foot to tour around the town. There're many old buildings, cafeterias (westerners really like to chill), statues and so on.


Not forgetting Belgium chocolates! Look carefully.. anyone wants? hahaha one piece for 0.80€ that's $1.68 Sgd. Ex leh!
This one is even more expensive 22.5€. Got 3 colours somemore haha
At first we thought some actor and actress were filming it turned out to be a real marriage of a couple!
The reason why we got to take a picture with them is because they borrowed our horse carriage to take their pics when the horse is having its rest. According to the horse guider or whatever you call that, women in pink gowns are either remarrying, or, not a virgin and it's kinda rare to see one in white gown. Hmm I was enlightened.
Nice view isn't it?
The number reads 1776. Quick go buy 4d! I'm like becoming sensitive to any four digits not like i strike any lottery, but because I've been helping my grandma to copy the lottery results online.
Okay boat ride again to tour around the city.
Happy little kids.

Many historical buildings..

This was tea break cuz we were all tired.



Most of the houses have the same shape, triangular on top.
Oh this is the interior of our hotel. I can't remember if I took the spiral staircase from the top or the bottom.


Hoho random person with bushy moustache so feel like placking it off lor.

It started to drizzle and we put on our windbreakers and looked kinda silly. =X
Magnificent..

Try reading this! It's quite true. (Please do not read it from left to right like I did and did not understand the first line of it hahaha)
This was taken during the boat ride.

I'm borrowing colour again.

Hi! This was a jump shot.


The hotel owner and us. Really tall and nice lady.



Some performers on their way to perform? Not very sure though. We almost wanted to follow them to see where they're going but they were kinda fast.

The reason I'm getting fat......................
These 2 dogs are the cutest bunch after my Batman.

Sidetrack a little, speaking of Batman, I want to watch The Dark Knight! I think I'm still in time to catch it in theatres in SG. Anyone wants to wait for me?! hahahha. Sidetracking a little bit more, I finally shopped online after soooooooooooo long! Was shopping the whole night away.

Brugge is pretty but I think anywhere with historical buildings is beautiful. We're going to Cologne, Germany tommorow or rather in 9 hours time because it's past midnight already. Goodnight world!
