Quote: A day trip to Bruges, is not enough time to indulge in all its medieval beauty. Canals reflect old churches and architecture giving it a dimentional effect. Mussels and beer at a sidewalk cafe, seeing old ladies make lace, and buying superb chocolates, are some finishing touches.

Medieval Bruge

Overview

Quote:

Taking a walking tour of the city. Rich in history, don't miss the church with Michelangelo's sculpture coupled with the soaring lines of the decorated ceilings.

Boat Tours

Attraction

Quote:

The boats are long like barges and full of tourists and signs are seen in all languages. Aboard, you pass wonderfully worn historic homes, churches and buildings, trees ablaze with autumn colors, sidewalk cafes filled with patrons drinking warm beer. It is extremely colorful and lazy as you glide past, enjoying the delicious views and ambience.

The Chocolate Line

Attraction | "Chocolatiers"

Quote:

The reputation is "The Best Chocolate in the World" and I am a believer. They do not sell it outside of Belguim, for they value their reputation more than the almighty buck....now that's a novelty!! Leopard's, every shape and flavor creatively inspired awaits your selection. I chose each piece with liquors I favored for my mom to take back, I am now her favorite child!

Church of our Lady

Attraction

Quote:

Entering, you stumble from bright daylight into a candle-lit vast church. The magnificient sculpted work of Michelangelo arrests your vision. Stunning in its pure white form, you recognize his genuis immediately. The arched ceilings are dazzeling and are suspended in space. It is silent and you remember the scripture that reads, BE STILL & KNOW THAT I AM GOD...and suddenly you do....you light a candle and tip-toe out....
