Back to Bruges

My time in Antwerp was short and sweet. Although I spent three nights there like most other places it goes by fast. After spending my first full day there alone, I got to walk with someone from Antwerp yesterday and together we got to see one more church and the tunnel under the river before going back into the city center. I stayed for lunch while my new friend headed back to the hostel. That evening I decided to try and fit each thing Belgium was famous for into the space of 2 hours. I had a small serving of fries with mayonnaise followed by a Belgian beer, then a chocolate covered waffle. Belgium is famous for waffles and chocolate, and I often get the two together.

Today, I arrived back in Bruges around 1:30 and hung out at a hostel with a bar for the whole afternoon. It was the best time I could have hoped for; I met 2 people from Canada and a third person from Tennessee. We talked for ages and I still only had 2 beers throughout the whole thing. There's something refreshing about meeting people who love to converse as much as I do. It wasn't until after 7:00 that I got on my way to the Bed and Breakfast I am staying at again. (I agreed to come back to help finish cleaning the kitchen cabinets.) 

While at the bar I messaged a friend of mine in Strasbourg and asked if I could visit towards the end of the week, so that will be my next plan. I will have to leave just before 6 am in order to work it all out but it should be an amazing trip!
