2015 Brugge

Final morning in Paris: Sad to leave but excited to see what else we see Cafe and Chocolate croissant before grabbing our train at the Gard du Nord.

On way to Brugge.  at this point I have no idea of what to expect. I had never heard of Brugge before my dad insisted on us going. 
 we took the train there it was funny cause no one even checked our ticket. There is was like literally no security. 

Once in Brugge IT WAS Beautiful like being inside a painting. And our HOTEL omg was from a fairy tale. a castle a real castle but completely modernized.

We didn't have a lot in time in Brugge so we had to leave our bags and go out to explore as much as we could in whatever little time we could.

The stores are adorable the square is magical, the slightly tilted tower is funny,  we took a little tour of the whole city and although I truly was enjoying everything BUT I was on a mission!!! I was trying to find a Basilica called The Holy Blood. It has a Catholic Relic. The blood of Jesus! I was so excited to be there and see it.

But  it was crazy We had no idea where it was. a Brugge is small so it was insane the amount of walking we had to do before we found it.
That plus being hungry I began to act completely bitchy, I know poor dad, he was really patient with me . Yes i have a short temper, lets not go into detail.

Finally we found it  and we got there just in time for an hour adoration, not only that but they allowed us to place our hand on the vile and see it up close it was grand!

Afterwards dad paid for a river tour and we loved it even more, the ducks, the bridges. I think this day has been my favorite with him.

After the boat tour we were starving so my dad had the brilliant idea of buying bread, cheese and meets from the local shops, and Coca-Cola obviously and we had a little park picnic by the river. One of the best days ever seriously.

So before we knew it our day in Brugge ended.

The next morning we had breakfast in the hotel. A real fancy buffet where they even had a chocolate bar!!!

PS who ever said Swiss chocolate is better than Belgium chocolate is sooooo lying. or obviously never had Belgium chocolate.

We went shopping after that, my dad is obsessed with cuckoo clocks he bought like a dozen! he obviously had to have them shipped. But anyways we were running soooo late for the train!!!!  we had to run if we were going to ever get to London!!!!
