In Bruges

Can't believe it's already been almost 2 months since I shipped myself off half way round the planet to "sunny" England. It's been an exciting but scary time but it's really flown by, which I guess means I'm having fun?

My first city break that I decided on when I first arrived was Belgium for Easter weekend. Seems silly to not take advantage of having a myriad of European countries on your doorstep! But this meant I had to really do on the cheap!! Which actually wasn't so bad - especially since it meant eating waffles for lunch instead of proper wining and dining!

My favourite place from the trip is most certainly Bruges. It's exactly how you'd imagine it (and how it was in the film too!) with cobbled streets (it's hell with a rolling suitcase though), reflective canals and beautiful medieval architecture. Sure, it's a haven for tourists, which I usually despise, but it's definitely a place to visit at least, just to take in the fairytale atmosphere (and maybe catch a glimpse of a midget and a hit man?).
