Tina and Tony Part 2 - Brugge is like an f'ing wonderland
Matthew McInerney
Hi everyone
Lovely photos, Matthew - the boys look so cute together! such a handy
thing, this website - we will havve to learn to put some photos up.
We are back in Romsey and having a rest day today - just wandered in
to town and back - dad has gone back to watch the cricket for a while
- it is not on free to air and only one pub has sky channel so what
can one do - he is catching a bus home.
We had a lovely time in Brugge for 3 days - it is very pretty with
canals, churches and cobblestones - and lots of tourists - but still
managed to get about on the walks and look in a lot of lovely old
buildings. We had a bus tour, a boat tour along the canals, a brewery
tour with a free sample at the end, lots of walking; some good meals
too. We also took a boat along the canal to an old town called Damme
- medieval church there.
Thursday, we spent half the day in Brussels - did a small tour and
then just wandered around the centre of town which has a magnificent
square of old buildings plus the famous 'Mannekin Pis' fountain- it is
famous and everyone goes to look at it but it is a bit like the Trevi
fountain - you expect to see it in the middle of this fabulous space
and it is tucked in the corner against the wall - not that it can be
compared in size. We then caught the plane to Southampton.
Tomorrow we are off to London for the night - we are booked to see
'The Mousetrap' an Agatha Christie play which has been running for
60something years.
I love her books so looking forward to seeing the play.
Must be off - love to all. Can we have some updates from everyone please
love...mum
Dad will fill in a bit more detail later
