Bruges, 03/09/25

Had a solid day of touristing around Bruges. Started with the major climb up the Belfort tower, 366 steps, definitely got the blood flowing right away. Nice view from the top and an interesting Carillon mechanism. Then took the Rick Steves book and followed his recommended walk. That took most of the rest of the morning. Ended up at a nice little restaurant called moules et Poules, mussels and Chicken, for lunch. A nice half a rotisserie chicken and fries did the job. After that it was the hour long open bus tour of the town, which was interesting. Then after some downtime, realized that a couple of the museums would be closed tomorrow, so the only chance to see them would be today. Since I had bought a museum pass, I did a run through of the two that would be closed tomorrow. This is an interesting town and was a seaport before the access silted up. Eventually it became a tourist attraction and it does seem quite busy. Will see how it is on Monday.
