Brugges

 We made ourselves a breakfast of brotchen  and meat and cheese and left our beautiful hotel. We headed to Bruges and checked into hotel adornes. This hotel was not nearly as luxurious as our previous hotel but it was just outside of the city center, included breakfast for 15-year-olds per person and Parking in the city of Bruges, this was a good deal. Had my leg been better. We also could’ve had access to bikes, but as it was, I was able to walk, or hobble around the city. Our hotel was right on the corner overlooking a canal, a beautiful setting we wandered around, which is an absolutely beautiful city. It is a UNESCO world site and it’s easy to see why, the buildings look as they did years ago. And the fun thing about is everywhere you turn you see a new beautiful site or you end up in a small alley, or a little garden I can see why so many people love this city, we found the church of the holy blood, and I went up to see it. You asked for a small donation, and so I did that small vile with some crusty red liquid in it I wondered how this blood and the next day I found out from our tour guide during the crusades of the 12th century, a night went to the Middle East to fight and returned with the supposed vial of blood. The guide said you could believe it or not, and you could tell that he did not. It is a rather bizarre circumstance. The church inside and outside is beautiful with its Gothic architecture. We also happen upon several art galleries, mostly modern art. We both thought the art was rather strange, but apparently the city is getting ready for a big art festival the next week. in one gallery, we saw on display a large large piece of wood like it washed up from the beach, also walnut shells all filled with wax laid out on the floor. There was also a photographer with a display of selfies. I looked him up later and not even find his name on the Internet, I do think it would be fun to see all of the art when it’s all displayed next week, but our schedule calls and we will not be there then. We found a small pub, Blonden Os and went inside for two beers and a pretzel. We ended up not eating dinner as we weren’t even that hungry and went back to our hotel soon fell asleep.
