A cloudy start ending in blue skies with a warm breeze and birds chirping in the castle woods.
We still have two nights in the castle in a lovely apartment.
After a long and restful night, I made scrambled eggs which served as fuel to kick-start the morning, I connected our radio to my phone and filled the rooms with music.
We plotted a route to the centre of Brugge and parked underground with a leisurely stroll into the market square, through beautiful streets full of shops and quirky alley-ways. There is a shop that only sells rubber ducks… and one just for hand-made bags. We stopped in a giant church to take pictures, and on arrival in the square, made an immediate beeline to the waffle truck. We were treated to freshly made waffles coated with melted Belgian chocolate. It was absolutely heaven.
We explored the town, rediscovering old favourites, and went into The Chocolate Story (a museum) which culminated with a hot chocolate drink (or really a giant chocolate on a stick, swished in hot milk).
Later in the afternoon, on our return home, we took a walk around the castle grounds. Now settling into the evening with a limoncello and a little more cross-stitching.
