Recovery

Max returned to the hotel with the important Coke while Chris and I head to the tower in the town centre and climbed the 366 steep stairs to the top to take in the amazing view. It was lovely up there; you can see all of Bruges, which is just like a fairy tale. It was a real hike up to the top, but even more of a pain coming down, the stairs being so narrow and windy made it a little dangerous coming down with not many hand holds to cling too. When we finally made it to ground level we were surprised to see a huge queue of people that snaked out the entry building and out doors. We always seem to have luck in missing the queue!

We then head to the chocolate section of town to sample what was claimed to be ‘the best hot chocolate in town’… and it was SOOOO good!! I don’t think I’ll ever have one as good as that again in my life! We also managed to pick up a few boxes of fresh hand made chocolates for later, and also one for Max and Kora as a thank you gift for the lovely weekend we had.

We all met up an hour or so later and made our way to lunch, which was a quick affair as we had to hit the road again and make our way back to Trier, a 4 hour drive. We stocked up on water and some chocolates and head off, Max driving and making the trip a quick one thankfully.

We all fell into our comfortable seats/beds and put on a film to watch… and decided that the most appropriate to watch would be ‘In Bruges’ and found it fun to be able to sit there and yell out “been there!” or “saw that!” in various sections before putting on another film and relaxing. It was a very quiet night, which was good and we eventually called it a night at around 11pm. Phew, what a day!
