Bruges - Following a 20 minute hike to our hostel with our back packs nearing 20kgs we were greeted with a not so pleasant steep climb to our room up a rather narrow spiraling staircase, defintely not meeting Australian standards code 1428 (rather deadly actually)! After surviving the stair case we set off for the local Brewery as Belgium amongst many other European countries in known for their excellent beer. The beer here wasn't too bad, a little fibourous as they don't filter all the hops completely (its meant to be much healthier this way).
Belgium would of course not be complete without tasting the world famous chocolates. The old cobblestone streets are lined with chocolate stores and rather affordable too! Unfortunately the hot chocolates and milkshakes are perhaps a little more pricey at 4Euro ($6 AUD) and 6.50 Euro($10 AUD) respectively but still well worth it with our cafe of choice offering a selection of 42 different varieties!! The waffles are great too... it really sounds like all we do is eat and drink!
We also visited the local market and purchased some fresh meats, bread, salad and fruit for a picnic in the park which was a welcome change from our sandwiches we normally "take" at breakfast!
On or last day we lost our first item (not bad considering we have been travelling for over 5 weeks now). In a frantic rush before catching the bus we decided to put our photos onto a CD and unfortunetley we left the memory card there... oh well it could of been worse we still have the photos.
Next stop Amsterdam,,,,
