Belgian excursion - Bruges

Onward to Bruges, and we stayed in a really cute little place on the picturesque river that flows through.  The nice man at the reception let us check in really early, which was amazing. So then we could leave our bags and go explore the city straight away.  It was a beautiful day, cold and crisp with clouds moving really fast across the sky (my favorite kind of day).

 

So we stayed just the one night here and then took the train (1st class through Belgium, then Premium on Eurostar back to London) back home, arriving on Saturday afternoon.

Such a civilized trip, I'm so grateful we were able to make it happen.  Its also the first time we've left Tryfan on his own, so we were a bit worried about what the state of the house would be when we got home, but everything was intact, so PHEW!
