With my parent’s only visiting for 10 days, we have lots to do in a short amount of time. We managed to get a full tour of Bruges in one day. After arriving by train we walked into the town center. My mom oohed and ahhhed at all the little homes and narrow streets. She would stop every few steps to take pictures. When we reached the main square we took a carriage ride through Bruges. There is something magical about this carriage ride. My mom and dad were smiling ear from ear. They loved it. We enjoyed lunch at Cambrinus. This restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere and offers 400 beers. I would not recommend going there if you are a foodie though. The food was ok, but it’s more about the atmosphere and beer. Before we made our way to Huisbrouwerij De Halve Maan (Brewery), we took a canal boat tour. Bruges is known for their beautiful canals. Our guide gave the tour in three different languages. He was charming. The canal tour gives a different perspective of Bruges. On our way to the Huisbrouwerij De Halve Maan, we stopped at our favorite chocolate shops, Galler and Mary’s. Mom passed on the chocolate and Dad wanted more (he he he …) We finished our day with a nice cold beer (that’s not true… When we were at the train station Adam ran to a store while we were waiting for the train and got Dad and himself one more beer to enjoy on the train.) The Huisbrouwerij De Halve Maan is a fantastic brewery and has delicious beers, food and a great atmosphere. We headed home around 18:00. Mom and Dad passed out on the train home. It was a wonderful day!
