We checked into out hotel in the evening and wandered around. There were 3 Indian restaurants in a 5 minute radius of our hotel! We had a fridge in our room so we bought milk and bananas and called it a day.
Next morning we left for a day in Bruges - The city is a World Heritage Site and sometimes referred to the Venice of the North. It was an hours train ride and we could use our Eurostar ticket to travel! :) This small town had nearly 80 attractions on its must-see list!!
We passed several sweet streets, restaurants, statues and came to the main City Square or GROTE MARKT square. It was lined with the City hall, 13th century Belfry Tower, the best looking tourist office ever and the Provincial Court.















We then walked though a serene Convent and ate a very expenisve meal before leaving for Brussels. We simply loved this small town!
















We stopped to eat the Belgian specialty - waffles and fries. We didn't know but fries come from Belgium and we should have guessed. EVERY nook and corner there were these small shops 'frietkots' selling fries. All of our meals had fries with an option of many toppings. We chose curry ketchup, ketchup and mayonnaise. (I love mayo!) Even at the entrance of the palace (cameras not allowed) they had a sign which said "fries not allowed" . Another piece of information - My magnet too has fries on them :)
