We sailed up a very long canal to get to the town and from where we were moored it was about a 15 minute walk into the town square. Where we spent most of our time.
Brugge is a very old town and it looks like it could have looked hundreds of years ago. In the center of town there were lots of horses and buggies taking people for rides. We really liked to horses.
In Brugge there were lots of craft and model shops. Neisha and Jessica got a latch hook each to do and Jackson got a Model Ferrari. We really like doing the latch hook and Daddy is helping Jackson with the model building.
Another thing we really like doing is lego and here in this picture we are building a lion.
When we leave Brugge we have to go through a lock to get to the ocean. While we are waiting for the lock to close a huge boat comes in as well.
After visiting Brugge we head for France. We call into a couple of towns on the way but do not stop long. Finally we get to a town called Dieppe where we will stay for a few days.
While we are in Dieppe we also go on a train ride to a town called Ruoen.
This is the town where Joan of Arc was held after she was captured by the English. We saw galleries, old streets and buildings and churches while we were here.
We also got to stop for a delicious hot chocolate at a cafe.
We are going to sail overnight for England next and will be stopping in a place called Portsmouth.
We are having a great time.
Love Neisha, Jessica and Jackson.
