Hello Brugge! Hello Tine!


After a few hours via super fast train, from Paris, I arrived in Brugge's Tine, my friend that stayed with me in NZ, was waiting for me!!  After traveling on your own, it is soo nice to see a friend again.
Tine's home sweet home! :)

That night, we went out to Tines Parents place for dinner (was mothers day here) don't know if it is at home, otherwise happy mummys day mum! :), Tine's Parents were in Oostende by the coast,with an apartment on the 6th floor, overlooking the city, it was funny being on the other side for a change, Tine's parents harassing them for not producing any grandkids!, I'm sure Tine's mum could talk to mum and compare notes. Anyway, it was entertaining, Tine is vegie, so no worries, I didn't feel bad for being vegie, for the first time on my trip! thanks again Tine :)

Anyway, after dinner, rum, red wine, and beer, I was very content, surprised I was a little hung over the next day... Tine works insane hours, 50 min drive to work, so had to leave at 6:30am and will be home around 9pm so it was upto me to entertain myself in Brugge,  Weather is great. I went to do my laundry, brought a vegie roll, and to my surprise it was 2.70€ I was surpised. Normally everything has inflated prices, also people speak english! OMG, signs in stores are in english, is like NICE!


For the first time in Europe, I haven't seen anyone begging in the streets it is a nice change,

Chocolate Shops, they are EVERYWHERE! I haven't tasted any yet, I haven't seen any quite like the ones in Paris but the chocolate shops in Paris were like art shops.
