The whole city centrum of Bruges, Belgium is UNESCO World Heritage Site. That means all the buildings in the city center is included in this prestigious recognition. It is quite impressive so we decided to visit this city.
We were not disappointed, the city is quite beautiful especially at night with the dramatic and romantic effect of lights. We drove through the city twice during the day, and once at night which we were fortunate to be able to park very near the church and the most important buildings. By experience, we learned that visiting towns and cities at night is when parking is available and free. Free parking usually starts at 7pm.
Lindt chocolate was my favorite. Now I am converted - Belgian it is. I bought one small box for Euros 7.25. Super creamy and delicious.
For wild campers/RVers, free parking just outside the city center is so many, there is always available parking whenever we went. We did not see signs not allowing campers to park or stay the night. Bruges is camper/rv/motorhome friendly city.
Wherever we park, open internet connections are available. We enjoyed internet the whole time we were there.
My husband found the new bike in Bruges he was looking for - priced below Euros 100 - his budget. He got it from Carrefour Saint Kruis.
I went shopping, first time, for some clothes and blouses. They were nicely priced too at Carrefour.
We enjoyed Bruges so much, we stayed 4 nights.
I like the words frugal, simple, logical, practical, freedom, honest/y, truth, compassion, kindness and these words are my guide in how I live my life. These words are also how I want to be remembered. I like cruising, traveling, sudoku, reading, tv, movies, cooking and spending time with my husband and children. In March 2001, my husband, our three teen-aged children and I migrated to Surrey, BC, Canada from the Philippines. It has been ten years since and Canada is now our home.
