Bruges, Belgium, July 2012

We took a day trip from Ghent to Bruges (it is less than an hour by train).  Bruges is a beautiful town, but many more tourists than Ghent (and fewer Belgian people live in the center of Bruges compared to Ghent).  We took a canal cruise, did some chocolate shopping and visited the last remaining brewery in town.  We loved strolling around town, although by evening it was raining so that put a bit of a damper on our exploring.  One highlight was our visit to Rose Red, a wonderful bar/restaurant.  Their beer list had over 100 beers, featuring many trappist varieties.  I was amazed at how knowledgeable the staff were.  They could tell you about every beer in surprising detail.  Definitely a place worth checking out if ever in Bruges!
