Last Long Travel Day

There isn't tons to write about from Wednesday the 5th of June since we spent a great deal of time on the Benelux train system. We left the apartment at 9.30am and walked up to Amsterdam Centraal, making sure to stop along the way and get our now required bath duck photos as we got toward the station.

The trip for the day was Amsterdam to Rotterdam, Rotterdam to Antwerp, and Antwerp to Brugge. We had two nights in Brugge and made it there a little after two in the afternoon, checked in and realized we had time to make the short trip down to Brouwerij De Halve Maan and take the 4pm tour and tasting. I had gone on this tour in March with Ken, his brother Terry, and Amara and it was such a gem of a tour that I wanted to make sure that Steph got to experience it as well. It did not disappoint, the tour was just as witty and comical as the last time, then again it was the same older woman giving the tour this time as it was in March.

We wandered back up to the city center, The Burg, of Brugge and hit a few stops along the way just to enjoy the scenery, and even just a touch of fine Belgian chocolate at the Chocolate Line. We decided that we should just find somewhere close for dinner and ended up at a nice restaurant called Venice. The food was worth every moment's wait, they were terribly understaffed as the waiter did not stop moving at all during our time there, and we did have to do a fair amount of waiting after being seated. Even so everything worked out well for our shortened travel day experience of Brugge.
