Day trip to Brugge

So our day started with an 8 am bike ride to the train station which was a first for us, and let me just tell you a picture doesn't do it enough justice. There is a parking garage for bicycles with 10,000 spots... 5 blocks of bicycle parking... a half a mile of bicycle parking. It was unlike anything I have ever seen. And it was hard to find a spot haha



After an 1.5 train ride we arrived in Brugge (the venice of Belgium) known for it's delicious chocolates & canals filled with swans. We took an hour long boat tour, visited an art museum, saw a Michelangelo sculpture in a famous church, had a good lunch, and spent the afternoon just exploring the town which I loved!












Anyone who comes to visit will definitely get the pleasure of spending the day in Brugge. The boat ride was my favorite part. You go under probably 10 different bridges some of which you have to duck and feel like you are in the charlie and the chocolate factory movie, haha you have to experience it.








Love to all, Brigette
