Brugge. First of all, I was very impressed by this beautiful city that I saw in the external shootings of famous director and actor Aamir Khan in ‘Peekay’. The city scenes were shot with extraordinary beauty and meticulousness with great music. Then I watched the city from a thriller called ‘In Brugge’. i It was so beautiful that I had to see this sweetness. I found a space and hit the road. The stone walkways on the banks of the canal, the smell of chocolate that surrounds the city, the unique bridges, and the medieval stone and mud-brick houses were truly fascinating.
Brugge is easily accessible from Brussels. There are frequent trains, and it takes just an hour to visit Ghent. Of course it is possible to reach by renting a car. Traveling through the scattered settled villages of the country and seeing farms where cattle and sheep go around is not a bad alternative. The road is not crowded, you can even get bored of calm, you may not see many people around instead of grazing animal images are very relaxing. Especially if you are on the train, you can sleep with classical music combined with the calm outdoors.
I’ve always had this sleepiness. I don’t know if Belgium is always like this in September or if the weather is always electric. A sudden rain comes out, you try to escape from the glass, but you do not need to escape the sun suddenly opens. I’ve seen the weather change in this country the most. If you talk to someone, it says Belçika This is Belgium,, so the climate here is uneven, otherwise people seem to be living very stable. Even too boring for us…
When I arrived at Brugge station I didn’t think about the hotel road. The only keyword was that it was in the historic city. So if I find it, the rest is easy. I just had to follow the crowds in front of me. Where to go from the station to go there, of course, the center of the old city.
While following, I noticed that this group is logically looking for the hotel. Naturally, we had to leave the suitcases first. What can I do. Find the nearest tourist office. Where the tourist office can be, of course you can be in the center of the old city. In fact, there are not many signs addressing the office on the roads. I looked like this suitcase will not be heavier, while driving on stone roads turned into noise, but also the endless rains. As soon as possible, use the power of communication.
Well, who is the best to ask in this case? Neither old nor young, middle-aged sporty girls are already understood from the looks. If you look at your face and see the possibility of knowing the question is a problem. If they’re from there and speak English, they like to help. But there is so little…
Most immigrants. And there’s an English problem. Never ask the address if someone is looking unhappy. He doesn’t have a tattoo. Luckily I found the office tirelessly and took a deep oh. It was a tiny place and I was tired of talking to a self-confident, English-speaking officer who knew street to street. Then I passed the square stone roads more energetic this time. The hotel is very close and central. I’m pleased. I immediately got rid of my weights and threw myself into the streets.
Chocolate fragrances and the city
There are so many beautiful cafes in the city, especially the smell of chocolate has enveloped the city and diversified these products. Cute and tiny stores with fruit, ice cream, waffles, drinkable and selling in different cocoa rates.
It is so attractive that you’re already seducing this special fragrance, dipping in the shop as if hypnotized, and admiring the chocolate varieties. You can purchase them in public or in packs. Some of them have very special packaging. If there will be gift packing important. If you deal with odor you can find the channel, almost every road leads to the channel. And on the canal you will see the tourist tour boats flowing one after the other. They get 10 Euros in cash and they make a canal trip for about half an hour in different languages.
I did not get in, instead I followed the boats on the canal cruise by walking from the shore. He was fun. It is also fun to get lost in the historic side streets of the tiny city. Try to get lost as much as you want. You turn around and come to one of the two big square again. Or you can find yourself in the park on the edge of the old town. Walking around was an option.
Bikes could be more enjoyable. Hourly, daily or longer you can rent. If I stayed long, I’d consider renting. I also admire the wide cycle paths and respect for athletes. I really care about these European cities, where I see that everyone is respectful. The historic city, the canals and the chocolates were a very brief summary of this place.
