It took me ages to rise out of bed again today. I think I've quickly forgotten what it's like to sleep in silence. Even my apartment back home in Ottawa was always slightly noisy because of the upstairs neighbours. This time I was going to be let off the leash to easily for taking ages!Bjorn's mom had come by to watch the baby while the four of us, Wendy, Jorunn, Bjorn and me would be heading off to Bruges for the day. We wrapped up breakfast and jumped in the car. I sat in the back with Jorunn at her request. Jorunn decided to test out her photography skills on her father!
When we arrived to Bruges, we went to the tourism office to get some maps and information. Wendy was our leader today, she was family with the city having studied here. At Wendy and Bjorn's request we went to Quick and ate fast food for lunch. I was a bit surprised, but I didn't' say thing. Sometimes you don't really picture Europeans eating at places like this. Afterwards we walked around some squares, visited city hall and some churches. We also went to a famous chocolateir and I had the most amazing marshmallow covered chocolates ever. After the sight seeing was done, we went to a famous pub to have this strong beer. I couldn't believe it, but I was definitely tipsy after one, suddenly we all couldn't stop chatting. I hear at this pub they don't let you have more then three drinks for the strong beer.
Afterwards when we got home, Wendy went and bought "Belgian" food. Well, more like junk food, it was great! Booze me, feed me!
