Brugge – City Centre
I checked out of the hotel this morning and went in to the City Centre of Brugge by bus. Wandered around the city and its narrow streets, over lots of bridges (thats what its name means).
The Journey Commences
After a 7 hour drive from Fairford on Friday night, I arrived savely in Bruges a few minutes before midnight local time (23:00 UK time).
Last Minute Addition to the Itinerary
I’ve now decided that I will not stop in Sevenoaks on Friday night before crossing the Channel on Saturday morning. My new plan is to continue straight through the tunnel on Friday night, making Bruges my first overnight stop.
