Brugge

3 September 2015
Bruges is the capital and the largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish region of Belgium. This is the city that we were privileged to visit today.
The group of exchange students was divided into smaller groups and given tasks to complete. These tasks took them on a walking tour of Bruges. (Images of some of the tasks can be seen in this blog).
As if we did not walk enough for one day the strenuous task of climbing the 366 spiralling steps, winding some 83 metres into the sky, of the Belfry Tower waited for us after lunch. At the top of the tower we were rewarded with the awesome vistas of the historic World Historic Site that is the old city and the  surrounding country side.
I keep on repeating myself, but Bruges is the most beautiful city in Europe.
