HICKORY, DICKORY, DOCK, LYNN AND TOM CLIMBED UP THE CLOCK...

This morning, after a leisurely breakfast, shared with fellow travellers, we climbed the Brugge bell tower. 366 steps later, up a very narrow, steep and winding spiral staircase, we had an amazing view of the city and countryside. The clear blue morning had closed in on us to bring a bit of a mist by the time we arrived at the top, but still had a fantastic panoramic view. It was fun, and loud, to be at the top as the bells chimed.
After the climb down, we headed off to Market Square to look for the recommended "Garre pub"... And we found it down the tiniest lane... We figure it is so narrow because when you leave, you need the brick walls to hold you up! We had a great time, enjoying the local beer, and little bowls of cheese. Spent some time in Market square, chatting with folks from New Jersey. Today was our best day in Brugge weather wise, only a wee bit of rain, but can still feel fall in the air. Luckily, our hostess at our B&B has lent me a warmer jacket, which also made today much more pleasant.
We are leaving Brugge, and Belgium, and their incredibly friendly people tomorrow and heading to Amsterdam. Our last stop before heading home....stay tuned
