Hi from Bruges! We had a short bus trip from Paris to Bruges, About 4 hours and we arrived into Bruges at about 12pm Saturday. We left our baggage in storage and went for a wander. Bruges/Belgium is famous for their chocolate, French fries with mayonnaise, their many beers, waffles, and Flemish dishes. Bruges is lovely, small and pretty and a really laid back quiet town. We decided to give a couple of dishes a go. We tried french fries, so delicious with real ma...

Bonjour! It's our last night in Paris, we've had two wonderful days here and have been so busy I haven't had a chance to update this. So I'll back track. Wednesday we jumped on the bus from Munich to Paris. It was a 13 hour bus trip, that's a long time on a bus! Especially feeling a bit precious. We'd visited the hostel bar on the Tuesday night for a drink, which ended up in quite a few pints of beer (be proud Daniel, I'm drinking beer) so an entire day on a bu...

Really good area for wifi, couches and hammocks and plenty of room to ch...

We wandered the town for a while and explored a stunning church before heading back to get our packs. A bus and train later we were at our hostel ready to check in, only to discover our...

Another day in Munich! Today is Elvira's birthday so we had a late start, got ready and headed for lunch right on a lake. We had lunch with Elvira's friends, Martha and Wolfgang. Martha is Scottish and Wolfgang is German. We had peppers stuffed with goats cheese for entree, and fresh fish from the lake for main. Absolutely beautiful food, Germans eat so much! I can't keep up! We went back to Martha and Wolfgang's cute little German house and enjoyed a strawberry ...
