Bruges, Belgium - Day 2
If there is only time for one city in Belgium, it shall be Bruges, not its capital Brussels. A medieval old town, Bruges is often referred to as the Venice of the north. Its buildings and houses are old yet look well-preserved.
We took a boat cruise in the morning along the river and it certainly reminds me a little of Venice, except that it's less touristy(a plus point).

I love the buildings! It's has this 18th century feel.
After the cruise, we shopped for chocs and window shopped along the streets and of course not forgetting to grab frites along the way. Yummylicious, the nicest sauce I ever tasted for the 2nd time.
Along the chocolate boutiques, I have to admit that chocolates do indeed come in all shapes and sizes. Damn amusing. LoL. No matter what shape the chocolates are, I will definitely swallow it. Haaaha.
We had to leave Bruges early afternoon to take a train to the last city in Belgium, Antwerp where we will spend a night. And we tried something amazing on the train. We ate the chips we bought and dipped it in the Joppie Sauce that we bought from the supermart. Oishi~
Upon arrival at Antwerp main station, the Halloween mood is in the air when we saw some ghost and vampire scaring hapless passerbys.
Antwerp, Belgium Antwerp, being the 2nd largest city in Belgium, is a busy port in Belgium. It feels too city-like to me, which I dun fancy and we really had very little time there, just a mere 2 hrs and the sky turned dark, where most shops are closed by 7pm.
We saw a castle, which was actually a museum. 
Then we walked to Grote Markt, the famous square, and saw the Brabo statue. Not faraway is the famous Cathedral of our Lady, which has 466 bells. 
And guess what's our dinner? As expected, more frites(supposedly the number 1 frites) plus some pasta we had along the way.
As there was nowhere to go at night, we settled down at this famous Jazz Club Muze to try some famous Belgium Beer. Yes Belgium is a beer producing country, and has over 1000 kinds of beer. It's not ex, considering it's a Jazz pub, about S$4 for a glass of beer. I had a cup of cappucino too, which was great. The music by the band was kinda disappointing though, as I feel the players are not well coordinated. Maybe I just can't appreciate the Belgium style of Jazzy music.
Cheers! I love this pic of mine, the one on the right. Do Heineken/Carlsberg/Tiger beer need a new spokesman? I can do it for free. Haaa. And do Omega/Tag Heuer/Tissot need an Asian for their watches? I can do it for free also. LoL.
Back at our comfy Hotel, I decided I dun mind doing an Ad for Godiva also =)
