Day trip to Brugge
Monday, June 19, 2006
Joined a day trip to Brugge (Bruges) in Belgium. Brugge is one of Europe's most appealing and picturesque cities, described as the "Venice of the North". Brugge boasts a labyrinth of canals which dissect the medieval splendor of the buildings. Brugge has classified as a World Heritage City, it need to preserve the outlook as much as it is.
It was a tiring trip, but I think it's worth, cost me £39 only.

It took 2 hours+ to reach Dover, and catch a ferry to France.
