Day 3 London Day 4-5 Brugge

 Hey we’ve been busy sorry for the delay in getting this Blog out

Day 3 in London took us to a bunch of different sites starting off in the Morning to theNational Gallery a huge art museum with works from Rembrandt, Monet, and Van Gogh. It was an amazing place where a person could spend a whole day walking through the Galleries. For lunch we headed to the Borough Market this 600 year old market had various food stalls, fresh produce and meats from across Britain. After lunch we toured through the imperial War Museum of the underground war offices that Churchill directed WW2 from. It was a very interesting as all of the top military advisors and politicians lived and worked in this large underground bunker until the end of the war. Then it was out for dinner and then off to the theatre district to see “Matilda” a non stop performance for two hours that was outstanding. Finally back to our basement closet for the night. Wednesday morning was an early start to catch the Eurostar train to Brussels and then a local train to Brugge.

If you haven’t heard of Brugge it is one of Europes best kept secrets, with numerous Unesco world heritage sites it is breathtakingly beautiful. Left untouched during WW2 the buildings date back to the 11th century. We toured through numerous churches and museums, so much history to see and learn about.  

We walked up the 366 steps to the top of the Brugge belfry and then walked another couple of miles in and around Brugge. A cruise through the canals of Brugge give a different view of the city. Lots of quaint cafes and bars with an abundance of great food and beer’s. Then back to our hotel which was very comfortable located within a 10 minute walk from the train station. 

Today we spent a big portion of the day on our way to Heidelberg for two days taking in the sites and eating some Schnitzel in our next update we will give you all of those details.
