anyone been and whats it like..culture,food,transport...missus has booked 4 days short break thing:)

Belgium is quite nice. Underated in some respects. I recommend Brugges highly.

never been but they make great chocklate.

 

dan.:D

They Love the Z there. People putting thumbs up as we drove past and even had people walking into the road in front of us so they could stop us for pics!

Been there quite a lot, both for work and play. Brussles is nice, beer is good, expect to speak French !

went a few years ago and loved the place, brugge is stunning but expensive but if you find the little squares off the main drags you can get decent prices :)

cheers lads..makes me feel a little better:)

Don't worry, she hasn't taken you to some war-torn desolation of a country!

I've been to Brugge a few times when i was in the Merchant Navy, loved it there. Watch the film In Brugge with Colin Farrell very funny and a lot of Brugge scenes also.

Yep, had a long session on those in Ammersfoort (netherlands) once....now that was a hangover !

 

I dont remember the percentages but the Belgium white beers can be very strong.

been to NL a few times, and took day trips to belgium.

tbh it was a very pretty place, but very boring, although go to a pet shop called klein america (sp), it had every kind of animal possible for sale, nearly bought a raccoon :slap:

My first trip to Brugge we ended up in a gay bar, there was 5 of us from the ship. We just thought it was a quiet bar down a side street and it was empty when we arrived. It was only when the first couple of guys came in wearing see through shirts and we looked around the bar we noticed it was all pictures of naked men on the walls lol.

If you want to know where it is Brian, head diagonally across the square from the Cathedral and its the 2nd or 3rd street down to your left, it had a Jupiler sign outside, tell them big Steve sent you lol.:wack:

well got back in the early hours of today and its the most expensive place ive ever been too in my life:mad:..just a total piss take :nono::nono:
