Together Abroad: Discovering Belgium- Brugge (3rd Day)

Welcome to Brugge

Brugge is beautiful. And it was only too bad that we only had a day to explore Brugge, which was barely (barely) enough. The city, nicknamed 'Venice of the North' is also under UNESCO Heritage. In fact, the whole city of Brugge is under UNESCO Heritage. That goes to show how dedicated the people in preserving the art, culture and history of what makes Brugge as it is today. Brugge, in key words; medieval (for sure), romantic, gardens, lakes, swan, museums, interesting, cathedrals, castles, elegant, brown cobbled streets, narrow alley, bridges, river canals, horse drawn carriages, lace boutiques (aplenty!), chocolate shops, people-watching, sophisticated, ambient joints and restaurents, bicycles, artistic treasures, fascinating, folk lore and so much more. I've never mentioned this in my previous entries, but I think Belgians are beautiful people. Everywhere I look, I see potential models! They also dressed up well. Trench coats, black being the popular choice. But then 'black' is timeless and classic and most importantly, slimming. :). As you can see, I got myself a red trench coat and I actually love it. Another reason why I got it was so if I ever get lost in the streets, it would be easier for Oli to spot me. Anyway, I kinda miss dressing up for winter. My trench coat, scarfs, beanies and boots are all tucked in aside now. Not sure when will be the next time I put them on. Anyways, for Brugge, I thought I'll post up more pictures to sort of narrate our journey. After all, pictures do paint a thousand words. (Okay lah, I'm just lazy, hehe). So here goes....
