At this time we were almost locals on train rides, is fair to say that the belgian train was one of the best ones we ride on, and or destination brugge.

One of the things you will notice as a rookie traveller is the is very easy to lost in translation, we were very sure of the city where we were heading but with one detail in our mind we have the name of the city in spanish (Brujas) and almost miss the station is common to have the name of the cities in you native language and fogot the the current language in that country is different, but at last we arrived to Brugge, the first thing like in other countries exchange currency (Belgian Francs) just one detail to bear in mind in your travel plan, there is no exchange house on Brugge train station, you may say that being a town so small like is it walking distance are short but after to many days walking it can kill you, we head to hour hostel walking (20 min) and found a very nice surprise, again and very common the reception is a bar, but nice and clean and one of the better things of belgium, cheap beer.

We decide to rent a couple of bikes to go around the city, let me describe the landscape, a nice tiny town with a fairy tale architecture, simply superb, is a must to have a nice stop in your travel and go around (and interesting fact of Brugge is that bike theft is very common and we were riding the rolls royce of the bikes!!!!) but after a very nice ride we went to our hostel knew some aussie friends and get drunk with nice beer.

Now we have to head to Brussels.
