Vision Cruise Day 4 Bruges, Belgium

Today we shared a taxi with 3 other couples which brought us to the quaint city of Bruge, Belgium. We then followed a "walking tour" which Kos found online prior to our cruise. Here is the square where we were dropped off and began our tour. Another couple from the Cruise Critic group joined us as we walked through the cobblestone narrow streets. After about 3 hours of walking, we took a bus back to the square to have some lunch and browse the shops.
Weather was perfect for touring - sunny 70 - 72 degrees.



Here you can see the typical Belgium row home along the canal. We enjoyed a canal tour after lunch which brought us through many of the canals throughout the city. Bruges is called the "Venice of the North" since most of the housing is on the canal. If you look closely, you can see that there is very little space in front of their homes.
