Wandered around the old city , visited a couple of museums. Did you know that all of the traditional images of witches: Broomsticks black cats boiling cauldrons Etc we're all inventions of pieter bruegel the Elder in the 16th century.
In the afternoon I walked up to an open Square where Belgian fans were watching their team on a large screen vs Ireland in an early round of the European championships. See picture.
At dinner I ordered Flemish beef stew. Take a look at the plate I was served before they followed up with the main portion in a big pot.
The weather forecast today 0% chance of rain today. It rained off and on all day.
Brugge is a beautiful old city, a labyrinth of medieval streets and canals lined with plenty of 17th century buildings and some older than that. A popular tourist destination, but not especially crowded today.
