23.06.23 – In Bruges

Driving to Brugge luckily did not take that long from Dunkerque. We parked at a parking lot for campers that was pretty close to the city core and after that went for some groceries. After bringing those back to the camper, we walked into the city. Brugge is a really beautiful place with an incredible amount of old buildings. Some featuring a gothic design and then some looking like soneone just took them from some place in england and put them here. The big plaza in front of the Belfort of Brugge actually in parts reminded me of the Römerplatz in Frankfurt. After walking around the city and finding some nice fries and of course a belgian waffle to eat, we visited an exhibition by Dalí which was currently happening. Every time its so amazing to look at his pictures, from scribbles over etchings to sculptures, his style amazes me. After getting our dose of Dalí we searchee for a place to drink. We went to a pool/sports bar and got us some beer. Lazaro and I tried the „Red Delirium“ which was some weird cherry-flavoured 8% beer. A normal beer drinker would probably say, that that is not a proper beer, but it was delicious. After getting another one, we got us dinner (which sadly was way too expensive for being not really good) and then walked to another bar. A metalbar called Valhalla, very nice. The bartender there was super nice, looking like your typical metalhead: 2 meters tall a big beard and tattoos and piercings everywhere. And he gave us each different beers to try as we all aren’t very experienced beer drinkers. He gave us a little introduction into some belgian beers which was really cool! All while listening to some live shows of powermetal bands.After finishing our beers we decided to walk back to our camper and get ready to sleep. Brugge was really a cool experience!
