We landed in Brussels but after loads of other travellers telling us Brussels is not great we bypassed the city and made our way straight onto Bruges. This is a very cute town and quite famous on the tourist trail as the place was swarming with busloads of tourists. We arrived at our hostel and quickly checked in so we could jump onto the afternoon walking tour. The tour took us through the town and gave us a brief history before finishing at a brewery where we were able to sample some Belgium beers. We met a few people we stayed chatting to that evening and we all decided to do the hostel beer tasting which helped navigate us through Belgium beers. The next morning we wandered around town and enjoyed the sights. We were definitely starting to slow down on the travel front by now and we spent a bit of time just chilling at the hostel, trying to figure out our last ten days of travel.

From Bruges we made our way to another town in Belgium called Antwerp, famous for diamonds, much to Petes delight. The town was again really picturesque. We didn’t really do much in this city we only spent one day wandering the streets and enjoying our studio apartment before making our way to Paris for our last week of the trip.
