Travel Bug Robert - Bruges, Belgium

In this Travel Bug Robert episode, Robert travels to Bruges in Belgium. An hour outside of Brussels can do wonders. The city center of Bruges is something out of a fairy tale. Well, if a fairy tale had hordes of tourists jamming the quaint, cobbled streets. The entire city center is a World Heritage Site, and with good reason. The 12th Century architecture is some of the best preserved in the world. Walking around, it feels like Williamsburg, Virginia or a World Showcase pavilion in Epcot. The only difference is Bruges isn't fake.

Comment by Robert Boesel on August 4, 2010 at 12:55pm: Oh, I definitely tried the beer. Next week, my Wednesday video is about the Half Man Brewery tour in Bruges. I have to say, though, I didn't try the marzipan. I'll have to go back for that.

Comment by Linda Dini Jenkins on August 4, 2010 at 10:02am: So glad you did this! I LOVE Bruges (or Brugge, in Flemish!). But what about the beer?!? You have to love a country that makes 400+ kinds of beer. And Brugge is right at the top of the list. And those windmills . . . and those nuns . . . and the marzipan . . . 'scuse me. I get so excited!
