Two days of Bruges, Belgium together with my husband, without the children. A real treat. Below some highlights & links.
1. Wonderful guesthouse
Cote Canal & Huyze Hertsberge. Big rooms, great ambiance and excellent service;
2. Being a vegetarian married to a non-vege, there should be both on the menu.
Baobab serves great dishes with excellent wine;
3. A place we've visited before many years ago for a quick lunch, but also good for dinner or just a drink. Has a cinema next to it and serves the largest menu of rum I've ever seen. It's called
De Republiek;
4. Only open during lunch hours and very popular amongst the vegetarians
Lotus;
5. A little shop selling 'out of the ordinairy' stuff from tribal to industrial. Bummer they didn't have that lamp in another colour.
Depot D'o;
6. Beautiful gallery with a great diversity of artworks,
Absolute Art Gallery;
7. All about paper & postcards, definitely worth a visit
Alfa Papyrus, you won't leave empty handed;
8. Though all of Bruges is one big historical monument, het Begijnhof has a special ambiance;
9. Nice exhibition at the 'Oud Sint Jan'
From Picasso to Joan Miro;
10. Bruges is full of places selling the most excellent chocolates, I believe in total 53.
Zucchero makes & sells all kinds of sugars for birth, baptism or wedding.
11. The very tiny oh so typical Belgian pub
Garre, serving a huge list of beers including there own. Luckely for me wine is also available.
