Bruges (or Brugge, Belgium)

We were so excited that the borders were finally open so that we could go to Bruges with Valerie and Stan Ballif. Our drive from Frankfurt took 10 hours instead of five because of a big traffic accident.
We arrived close to midnight which gave us a beautiful view of our hotel at night.




We enjoyed the unique architecture, cobblestone streets, and of course, the canals.





We stayed in this lovely little hotel where we looked directly onto the canal.
Here is the view of our hotel room from a nearby bridge. Pretty awesome.



Our horse-drawn carriage ride through the city was delightful.







We decided to go on a boat tour of some of the canals. It was nice the weather cooperated.














Authentic Belgium waffles from a little shop on a side street.





We loved our evening walks through this enchanting little town. 


We had one more stop in Brugge that was important.  The Madonna and Child statue was a must and then we hit the road for Dunkirk, France.


The Belgian windmills were designed a little different than the Dutch versions.
