BUSABOUT!!! Alarm went off at 6.45am, not happy...until I remembered we were starting our trip! Much excitement. Had baguettes for breakfast then onto the big blue coach en route to Bruges. Got our Lonely Planet guides and passes to get on the bus. Arrived in Bruges about 12.30pm, is super warm here! Dropped bags off at hostel then went for wander around the city; cute cobbled streets and old buildings. Went to chocolate museum - Choco-story; history of chocolate and a demonstration how to make pralines and got a sample! Amazing. Back to hostel for power nap. Very hungry, went to the restaurant downstairs and went halvies on spag bol and salad. Also had beer sampler; three different beers, one dark, one wheat and one cherry. Belgian beer is FANTASTIC! The best tasting beer I have ever had! Love Belgium - beer, chocolate and bikes what more could you want? (I have a feeling I will be saying this about many places....)
