Bruges, Belgium

Hi,


We made it to Bruge and I have wifi in the reception area, so thought I would send an email with some photos that are a better size! We ate frogs legs before we left France - they actually tasted like chicken but I was kind of disgusted!! They were actual legs, I thought they might just send out meat!
 
We spent two and a half hours in the rain in queues to get up - then down - the Eiffel Tower - all for 10 minutes at the top!! It was awful!


We bussed it to Bruge, drank some Belgium beer, and were in bed by 8.30. Our room is right above the bar connected to the hostel. Today we went on a four hour bike riding tour of Bruge, drank a beer at the oldest bar in Bruge (1515 it was opened), took a tour of a chocolate factory, climbed the Belfort (366 steps), and went to this old Church where they have piece of cloth with the blood of Jesus Christ on it.


Not sure what our plans are tomorrow morning, but at 1pm we catch a bus to Amsterdam!!


Hope you are all well.


Love, Meg
