Magnificent Belgium!

They have a good network of canals, everything is looking so matching with the scenery, so medieval, we also had probably the best guide to visit every secret of the city on a map we were given at the hostel. For example we saw the scalp of the old traitor that opened the gates to the enemy, the upsite down canon stuck on a corner into the pavement, we had marvellous pancakes stuffed with good portion of cheese and ham... Found the best place (cheap!) to taste a bunch of Belgian beers etc

Belgian beers... nice... (stilll prefer the Danish Jacobsen I guess).

So many things, so astonishing views on the streets, also inside the city hall, the churches etc etc. To our surprise, we found that in Church in Brugges, they keep Jesus Christ's blood, that was stolen during the crusades. We paid a visit of course. They seem quite religious, well, maybe they USED to be very religious, they have Madonna's scultpures at the corner of almost all houses.

Oh and there is Michael Angelo's Madonna sculpture, which is really something for the Flammish city.

We also had a short trip on the boat. That was nice! Kind of romantic stuff, and great views of the city from the waters!!

And OF COURSE we visited the CHOCOLATE MUSEUM!!! In which after watching a demo of how they make the praline chocolates, we tasted them (and then we run out to find a chocolate shop to buy more... and more...)

We were extremely satisfied with our stay, we decided to stay longer and cut one day from our next stop (Brussels). Good choice. The photos below tell only a fraction of what we saw and experienced in Brugges....
