Canal boats - didn't get to ride one.....
Browsing the chocolate shop!!
Daddy and Jack taking a little break
Yummy! Waffle with strawberries and cream : )>We got back from our 4 night trip to Bruges. What a fantastic little city. It was a bit of a trip getting there. 3 trains in total! But we managed.....
Boy, the Belgians really are known for their chocolates, waffles and beer! There are chocolate shops on every corner of the city. Of course I tried quite a few and brought back some with me. How can one resist! Had a strawberry and cream waffle for lunch on Sunday. Yummy! Josh sampled the local brews. He tried out the Bruges Zot, Grimbergen, Leffe, Duvel, and Hoegaarden. Since they brew their beers stronger than most countries, they typically serve them in a half pint glass. The weakest beer you will find in Belgium is 5%. You can order a large beer, but you'd have to go swimming in it! And you might drown before you finish it.
We had great weather. Lucked out! The forecast was rain....
Belgians living in the North are Flemish, however, they are fluent in English, French and Dutch. How great is it to be able to speak several different languages, fluently. The people are extremely nice and were very accommodating with Jack. Although, we struggled with highchairs and baby changing facilities! Other than that, all was good.
Jack picked up a cold, but is feeling much better. He was glad to be back home with his toys! I think he was getting a little stir crazy without them......only so much you can pack for the little
one!
