Bruges, Belgium

By: Angie

I am officially in love with Bruges, Belgium. We took a shore excursion entitled Romantic Bruges. It's a 2 hour walking tour, 30 minute canal tour, and 45 minutes of free time. 

I loved walking through the old city. 
My favorite history was the Beguinage.  From the outside, it's a cluster of buildings. It was a female community of working women founded in 1245. In those days, you lived with your family, were married, or were a nun. These emanicapated women were not nuns, but agreed a pious and celibate (from men) life. They had to work usually as servants or seamstresses. 


We used our break to try the local beer. 


The weather was gorgeous. Just a great day. We got back. I worked and enjoyed the balcony one last time. We had dinner in the Haven and then had a couple last cocktails with the bar team.

Overall, it was a terrific cruise.
