Bruges

My boyfriend Daz bought me a trip to Bruges back in May for my birthday. Last weekend we hopped on the Euro Star for our weekend away. I didn’t really know what to expect about Bruges as don’t know that many people that have been. I am a big fan of the film however don’t feel you can get enough of a place from seeing it in a movie.

I was totally blown away by Bruges with all the lovely canals, stunning buildings and very friendly people. A friend had said that you can smell chocolate wafting through the streets. Indeed you can it was lovely and the chocolate lived up to the expectations.

The horse and carriages trotting though the streets made it really romantic and there are great restaurants to eat out in at night. You can easily meander around the whole city visiting little antique markets or choose to hire bikes like we did. It is a very relaxing place to go as there isn’t a massive amount to do so you feel very recharged by the calm and friendly pace of the city. Thank-You so much Daz for a wonderful present – I would recommend Bruges to anyone that needed a quick, easy and relaxing break!

I also saw a wedding dashing off in a VW beetle so grabbed a few shots. For the photographers – I only took my 50mm lens. The night shots are taken on my G10!
