What happened to be Colin Farrell's nightmare was, for Lukasz and I, a favourite on the road trip. Who wouldn't like quant little cafes, restaurants, and charming cobblestone streets as far as the eye can see.
Okay, given that we went in low season we probably experienced a different Bruges than most would. I hear it can get quite crowded. However, we were welcomed with empty streets to explore and winter romance in the air.
A must when in Bruges is walking around to get lost (preferably when misty and foggy). I should not have to mention the necessity of eating delicate Belgian Chocolate from one of the many little confiserie shops, then of course finishing the day off with some rich slow cooked food and a glass of red.
Given that it was winter, neither Belgium nor Holland disappointed in providing a foggy and cozy atmosphere for our holiday. You may think why go during such a wet time? It was exactly what a couple of Canadian Immigrants like us needed after spending the holidays with family.
Cozy, romantic, and frothy (well the beer) - a solid road trip all around.
