Waynerrr Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Planning this for a long weekend in February. Oxford to Brussels for one night then onto Bruges for 2 more nights. 600 mile round trip, should be good, I hear the place is like a fairytale.
Ladders Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 .......should be good, I hear the place is like a fairytale. Depends if your colin farrell or not I suppose! Might as well carry on to the ring while your at it!
Waynerrr Posted December 3, 2008 Author Posted December 3, 2008 Might as well carry on to the ring while your at it! It had crossed my mind but I should be going there later in the year. Wish I could go on to Spa as well.
Ladders Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Yeah, I want to do both at some point. Fingers crossed. You going to see Jesus's blood as well?
Waynerrr Posted December 3, 2008 Author Posted December 3, 2008 You going to see Jesus's blood as well? Ha, of course! A mate went last week, the church that has the blood of Christ is different to the one in the film... *yawn*
Omar Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Bruges is bollox, unless you like lace shops. Go to Paris instead
Waynerrr Posted December 5, 2008 Author Posted December 5, 2008 Bruges is bollox, unless you like lace shops. Go to Paris instead Full of Frenchies. Besides, I love lace!
halfpenny Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Bruges is very nice. "The Venice of the North" the Belgians call it. But of course . . . Bruges is only a 2 hour (ish) drive from Amsterdam !!! p.s. If your coming from the French seaports via Gent, watch out for the new average speed SPECS cameras on the ring road.
jonnyfox Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Fecking BRUGES! This is a very funny film............. "a bottle" Just my input totally useless sorry carry on!
R.I.B. Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 I'll be in Bruges at the end of next month. Will be the last place i'm visiting on my Europe trip. I'm really looking forward to the specialist beers, no one is more passionate about beer than the Belgians! Or as they refer to them in the film "Gay Beers" lol

Or as they refer to them in the film "Gay Beers" lol Bruges is an amazing place... we stayed in an amazing B&B, the best hot chocolate in the world and just so much fantastic beer! And Omar - Paris has more shit per square foot than anywhere else on the planet.... fecking awful place!
A_C_Miller Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 venice of the north? Really, venice was a fucking hole whenever i've been there and i have absolutely no compunction to return a third time. It stinks, is horrendously overpriced and the locals are amongst the rudest, shittest people of anywhere i have ever been. At least it's sinking into the lagoon and we can stop romanticising it soon. I do hope bruges isn't like it.
