| Family Travels Belgium |
| Our experience in Belgium is limited to 2 one day trips to Brugge (from our home base in Beaufort, France) and one overnight before catching an international flight home. (we also daytripped there in 1990 without the children to buy fresh chocolate and eat mussels) But what we saw of Brugge, we loved! We would love to go back and spend some more time there. Lace is hand knitted there and a good souvenier buy. Chocolate is wonderful...and is prized as a fresh commodity that it is sold dated like cheese Beer is the best! and the Mussels....oh, the mussels....are so good! Even if you have never tried them before (or even if you have and thought "yuck"--you owe it to yourself to eat mussels in Belgium |
| The best way to see Brugge is by canal boat cruise. Not real educational, but alot of fun trying to reach out and touch the low bridges overhead. |
| We love this little restaurant cafe...we have eaten here twice The best mussels in town |
| Erica loves her side order of the original "french" fry. |
