Brugge!



A few weeks ago, I went to Brugge with some friends. I didn't really know what to expect there, but as soon as I got there, I felt like I was back in Venice. The whole city is surrounded by water. You could take horse carriage rides through the streets and boat rides through the little rivers.






It was a super busy day in Brugge and luckily, it only rained for about 15 minutes in the morning and then stopped. The rest of the day was beautiful and sunny!



I was super pumped when I found lobster. I'm not someone who eats it a lot, but I've been craving it for a few months now! It's super expensive here, but Belgium is known for their mussels which are also super yummy!

Speaking of mussels, we all went to a cafe and had lunch together. One of the boys had mussels so we all ended up eating a little bit of it too! Yummyyyy!
We sat in the sun for like 2 hours and just enjoyed it.

The group!
We went around the little shops and looked for souvenirs and things. I found a Belgian flag and a coffee mug, two things that I've been looking for for a while.

If you end up at the Belgian coat before going to the US, you can eat lobster for a very reasonable price in the Oesterput in Blankenberge .

Nag a bit , I'm sure they'll take you ! And if you want to go with friends , there's a train from brussels to Blankenberge every hour ! A day at the beach is fun too !

Good luck!
