Bicycle touring Belgium. Sharon
talked me into taking one of these canal boat tours. It turned
out to be a great way to see another side of Bruges. At one point,
our guide directed our attention to seven buildings standing
side by side, each built in one of the city's seven architectural
styles. We were also fortunate to get a humorous escort. He warned
everyone not to stand up when taking pictures because of the
many low bridges we crossed beneath. "We always lose a couple
of Japanese tourists each summer," he cautioned. "They
get so busy making good photographs, they forget about the bridges!" |
