We are taking a short break in Bruges at the moment.  Over the next few days, I’ll be posting some photos of what we have seen and experienced.

We arrived last night and had a short walk into the centre of town from our hotel, ideally situated on a canal which our room overlooks.  I’ll post some pictures of the hotel and the views from it at some point.

Below is a photo of the Carillon Belfry at night, followed by some more pictures from it today as we climbed the 366 steps up 83 metres to the top for some stunning views.

Next we visited the Basilica of the Holy Blood and venerated the relic.

Finally for today we toured the Choco-Story Museum (including samples!).  Wandering around Bruges at random we came across many picturesque little squares and views.
