Mrkt Sq
One of the Mrkt Sq with a fountain with LOADS of statues in it...! This morning slept in very late!!! Their beer here is surely GOOOD for me to sleep! and just learnt from a beer tour that they do add in these flower things and they actually help you sleep!
Anyways, it was raining in Antwerp and its Monday as well, most museums are closed, so decided to take the train to Bruges instead.
It was a quick ride and got there with better weather ne!
The town was very nice....lots of gothic style buildings and chuches!!!!! The Church of Our Lady was very grand and beautiful inside as well!!!! The town Squares were nice and even with many tourists, it didn't seem too crowded..=)
First went to the one and only local brewery for a guided tour. and wow, this town itself used to have over 400 breweries!!!! pretty amazing. and Belgium beer also have different ingredients from beers around the world! rather unique ne! and they have to register everytime they brew and have people come check the process and alcohol level of the beer each time!!!! ging ah!! The lady who gave the tour was funny as well.. cracked loads of good jokes!
After the tour of course, get
Brugge's local beeer!
The one and only brewery left in town..its the local white beer, a nice light-tasting beer ne! but got me drunk for the afternoon...^^" to taste the beer. Its included in the ticket so of course I had to drink it, even though I was so hungry....So, I was drunk after one glass....had to drink fast and run off to find fooooooood! =P
Walked around, and tried the most popular fastfood here - Fries. They have all these dressing for them! Like....CurryKetchup and all these other ones I dunno the name of.....Fries are fries, they taste like fries to me. I got it with PepperMayo....errr..I pre
