Adventure Time!: Day Fifty-Three: In Bruges

This morning we had planned to go and get Belgian waffles for breakfast since we were in Belgium so we headed into Bruges and had a look around. There were a lot of places open, like cafe's and stuff but they all seemed to sell waffles and pancakes only from 2-5.30, super weird, I don't know why that is the time for waffles. Anyway we went into a different place and got some other stuff for breakfast, I had a chicken wrap and Quentin got vege pizza and croque monsieur (which we probably should have had in France, and is a ham and cheese toastie) and we shared this pastry which looks like a samosa but isn't. They have them everywhere here and with all different stuff in but this one had some kind of berries and was yum.

After that we went and looked around the town some more and also went into this super old church which was really cool. They had some tombs there that they had only found in the 1990s which is pretty crazy! We walked further into the town and found a big square where all sorts of stuff was going on. Heaps of people were going on horse and carriage rides around the place, and you could go on boat rides in the canal too. They had a big bell tower there which Quentin said was from the movie (I fell asleep in it twice so I can't remember it) but we didn't go up because there was a mega line and it smelt bad there.

In this town there are soooo many chocolate shops, lace shops and beer shops! We saw them everywhere, I don't know if people buy that much lace or not? Anyway before we left we thought we better try the waffles even though we weren't hungry so we found a place that did only waffles so it wasn't stuck in the timeframe that everyone else was. We got one with chocolate and chantilly cream and it was so extreme. It seems like they cook masses of sugar into the middle of the waffle and then when you add melted chocolate and cream it is a bit over the top! But we have tried it now anyway. It was yum but for about 2 bites and then it is just sickly.

After that we headed back over the border and into France to find the ferry terminal where we planned to stay the night since we were getting the 8am ferry and you have to be there around 6.30am I think. We drove to Dunkirk and then realised that the ferry place was actually further on so we went and found it. There wasn't really anything there like shops or anything so we went back to the town and got some salads for dinner and some snacks before we went back.

We just hung out in the ferry area for the evening, there were a lot of other campers there as well, maybe getting the sailings in the night or the same morning one as us. They had showers there as well which was cool, although the pressure was so exteme I thought it might take my skin off! I think because it was near the sea it wasn't as hot as everywhere else which was awesome, I could actually sleep properly! Totally sad that the trip is almost over though :(
