Cruising in Bruges, Belgium


Life may not be a cruise for us, but that doesn't mean we cannot take a 30 minute minute boat tour along the canals of the beautiful city of Bruges,  Belgium.
In Belgium everything is written in multiple languages.  Even Bruges, is written Brugge by the locals who speak Dutch.
While taking a boat tour our guide made sure he knew what language everyone spoke as we boarded.  He then gave the tour in English, French and German.



Our tour guide told us to "mind the gap" as we got on the boat, but said 'Danke" for the tip as we left.











Bruges is famous for its canals, Belgium Waffles, Chocolate, Beer, and Belgium lace.

These waffles were cooked to order and warmed us up as it was just starting to rain.

One of the most enjoyable times was listening to a musical trio performing on the street.  These amazing musicians were playing Bach, Mozart and other intricate classical pieces.  Two accordians and a Bass provided wonderful sound for the pleasure of many.
