300 Bottles of Beer on the Wall, 300 Bottles of Beer...

---

A short drive south and we ended up in a little country that produces more flavours of beer than any other. Our initial plan was for Brussels, but after a few recommendations to skip it and to go stay in Brugge, that is where we ended up after a short 2 hour stop in Antwerp.

Brugge is a very nice little town, very european, with the style of the buildings dating back to the 15th century. The streets are all cobblestone, and lined with pubs promoting more than 300 flavours of beer and chocolate shops selling various flavours of rich Belgium home made sweets. Each brand of beer comes with its own branded glass, so the pubs are just packed with glasses hanging everywhere to accomodate all the various beers they sell. We spent the evening flavouring the many beers of Belgium and when the pubs shut down we strolled back to our little hostel and purchased some street vendor fries along the way. The next day we headed into town again to do a little sight seeing, we bought some chocolates, ate some Belgium Waffles, and took pictures of some of the surrounding windmills. We wanted to take a boat ride through some of the canals, but unfortunately it was raining, and so we just decided to head on down to Switzerland that evening.
