BRUGGE, BELGIUM

Bruges is the correct spelling in English and French. 

In the local Flemish/Dutch language, the city is spelled Brugge. Both names refer to the exact same city in Belgium, and both are considered correct depending on which language you are using


There is more to Brugge that Beer, Chocolate & Lace, 

well there is a lot of that too.

Oldest bridge in Belgium, 
from the 13th Century.

Belgium is well known for its creations of lace for 
curtains, wedding dresses, scarves, 
small Christmas tree ornaments, handkerchiefs 
and a whole lot more.

You say nuts & bolts, 
I say chocolate


Your say window display, 
I say chocolate

You say heart, 
I say chocolate

You say chocolate,
I say chocolate

**********


You say beer, 
I say Bier (Dutch)

Every beer has its own glass for dispensing their Belgian beer, 
even the 0.0 alcohol that Ron & I drink.

Our favorites here are: 
  
Hoppy, but not too hoppy, 
Yeasty, but not too yeasty
Malty, but not too malty. 
Yummm!

We attended an amazing concert performed by the
Budapest Festival Orchestra


When I say amazing, I mean an amazing production of
Wagner, Mozart & Bartók

Wagner and Mozart pieces were beautiful to the ears,
while Bartók was one continuous piece, 
as described in the program: 

Sorry, no recording allowed.

That said, 
I leave you with a travel poem: 



Cheers, until next time, 
Roger and Ron
