So Long And Thanks For All The Chips
September 25, 2006

As it's the last day, we stay in Bruges and do another walk, hoping for better weather than last time. But it's even more overcast this time...

So, we spend a bit more time in bars than may have been neccesary, adding Leffe Bruin, Kasteel Bruin [which may be my favourite of this trip], Juliper [which is pretty poor by Belgian standards] and a few others that I can't decipher in my notebook! Try this website for more on Belgian Beer. Wish I'd spotted it before we went!

We lunch at Zandloper and have even more chips before setting off for the chocolate shop, where purchases include, Bloody Mary, Cabernet Sauvignon, Kirsch and Cointreau flavoured chocs. Back to Brussels for the Eurostar and home. A great weekend which we hope to repeat next year. Just hope those Beaufort folk get themselves a guide in English together. Actually, they could improve their website and the signposting as well but maybe it wouldn't be so much fun if you could find everything that easily.

Still, I'd go to Belgium again, Beaufort or not. The coast is lovely, the transport is great, the people are really friendly and the beer is fantastic. And it takes less time to get there [and costs less!] than it takes to get to St. Ives.
