Bonjour everyone :)
Well we've done so much since our last post.
Bruges: We arrived at Zebrugge and it seemed like the good old Yorkshire weather had followed us. We left the ferry with full waterproofs on. It was a bleak day but it didn't matter, our journey had begun.
We stayed in a really cool and funky hostel in the centre of Bruge, it was such a quirky place, but by heck at night it seemed to be party central!! Me and the Greybo felt ancient as we supped our beers in comfy, old armchairs, whilst the youth, slammed shots like they were going out of fashion and sang and shouted until the dawn broke. Safe to say we didn't sleep much that night, especially as we were sharing the room with two of the said youth!
The next day we checked into our groupon four star hotel and my, it was luxurious:) we spent the next few days exploring a crowded Bruges, it is a magical place. After 2 days though we were getting a little weary of the jam packed centre and decided to book a cycle tour to the rural outskirts. Our tour guide was a sweet girl who was about 18 and had only been doing the tours for 2 weeks, whaaaaat!!! She informed us we didn't need helmets :0, and for some reason kept ignoring red lights. There literally were no rules, but do you know what? We loved it, it felt great to not have so many restrictions and made our bike ride so much more exciting. The tour guide was excellent and was eager to talk to Greybo as she was going to university to study music, come autumn. She didn't have much luck though as she was constantly bombarded by two intense Americans, who kept informing her that everything we saw they had in America, but only bigger :) we met some great people that day and even went for drinks later with a guy called, Mood from Syria and a girl called Jen from New Zealand and when the heavens opened once again we invaded a British couples table as it had an umbrella, they were both lovely but their names escape me. All in all Bruges was a wonderful experience, it was now time for Paris :)
