Brugge, Belgium

    

We failed to figure out how to work our Dutch calling card, and thus lost our hotel reservation for Brugge.  We showed up at the train station and started heading for the phones to make some calls when an older woman met us and asked us if we were looking for a place to stay.  She had a bed and breakfast, she said, and it's very nice, comfortable, and pretty close to the center area of Brugge.  She ended up being right on all of that and we ended up getting a great place to stay for 40 Euro a night.

She does not have a web presence and thus relies on word of mouth for business.  Here is the info from her card:

Mevr. Traen Nelly

Like most European cities we visited, Brugge has a few squares or piazzas.  Here was part of a fountain in one of them.  I liked the bikes and knew my dad would too.

 

Just another narrow European road with cobblestone streets, flowers on the buildings, vines climbing up walls, and those tiled roofs.
