Bruges

Bruges! The last city in Belgium that we visited and now one of my favourite cities of all time!

Shhh I'm actually not a big fan of waffles. But when in Belgium.

Windmills!

Bruges was actually quite busy with tourists, especially in the main square. However once you stepped three streets away, the crowds disappeared. We loosely followed the route provided on Silent Strolling through Silent Bruges which was a lovely walk.

Overall Thoughts
Belgium was a country I had always wanted to visit. It met my expectations in being both quite beautiful and also .. not. The contrast between super nice and super dodgy looking areas was quite significant. I find the language situation quite interesting and the governance of the country too. 

Not entirely sure if I would visit again as a single minded goal, but maybe if I was in a neighbouring country.
