Ok we woke at 7:00 o'clock and we did the normal stuff until the time to leave( including preparing our lunch and snacks to take along). We left the Hotel. Ha i have to say that we were going totality on the blind concerning the train timeschedule ( on adventure mode we would arrive at brugges sooner or later :) ).
The first thing that i notice was at 8 O'clock how the street look a garbadge dump.- In Brussels they don't use containers but plastic bags that are gathered together in several points giving quite a bad image. The trash trucks come to collect rather late so the streets look like a mess. Ok its nice that the men that work collecting and cleaning the streets work in the day and not and night but at least they could have containers.
Another thing that i've notice. Where are the cats and dogs? ....huuuuuuuuu mistery.
Ok we passed trough that street where the ladies are and there they were. Some ladies were putting lipstick, others were placing the stuff on its place and others seem bored. It was early to have action....and making business.
We entered the Noord Station and went directly to the machines( only coins and credit card rembember). We were buying the normal tickets to Brugges but the machine gave us a warning that instead we should buy the weekend tickets. The weekend tickets were half price that the normals. Cool!
Remember on weekends buy weekend tickets.
So now we had to find out at what time we had train to Brugges. We went to the screens and the train was leaving from platform 3 in 10 minutes. Such luck. So there we went and took the train to Brugges.
In the train you can find these kind of cartoons. Be civic.
Gent - Sint-Pieters, Brugge
The train voyage take us to the north to Blankenberge. Don't forget to leave at Brugge Station.
Here the ticket revisor...
So the scenery was. Green fields and sheeps and cows. Some villages with their churces. With was quite nice.
We arrived at Brugge on hour later ( more or less i was not paying attention). The best way to not loose yourself is follow the crowd :). So we did.
The first thing to do go to the bathroom in the station. In Belgium we have always to pay 50 cents.
Going out of the station we don´t see nothing special. Once more don't loose time follow the crouwd.
So this in the first sight out the station was a big square a road and many tree. Where's the village. Behind the trees!
So when you cross the river you are in the historical village. Do you want to know some facts? Click here.
What to do in Bruges. Walk, find, enter. For me its the best way.
Heres a another video. Click here.
So we started to walk and it was so pitoresc. The little cottages, the cold weather, the enormous towers.
We decided to go to one of those huge towers and we arrived at this plaza.
This is the Belfry of Bruges. The ticket is 8 euros and its worth it.
Here's some history.
Below you can watch another tourist visiting the tower
When you climb int the upper levels its an aventure. Why the steps are very narrow and you have to grab yourself very well because as you go up there are other coming down. For me it was funny but it can be dangerous for older people or children.. be careful.
I'm going to show all the levels of the Belfry. But first here's the sound inside the tower when one fantastic player decides to give us a concert and almost makes our ear drums blow :) We were admiring the views on the top level and the bells started to sound.
Do after this what we did we do? We ate! we were so starving. We had sandwiches that we prepared at the apartment so we didn't loose time. And then we went for a boat ride. There are many sites near the river where we can buy tickets and enjoy a nice trip explained in english. The ticket was 8 euros for person.
