France/Paris-to-Bruges, Day 12

Another 57km at average 16.2km/h saw us roll into Bruges today.

It is a very pretty place, full of lots of (calories : waffles, fries, chocolate), lace to name two

Our guide page says the city centre dates back to the middle ages (or is that 'muddle') and 'is almost completely intact' .... Er right, are they forgetting the money UNESCO and the EU poured into restoration ? ..... Whatever, the result is very nice

So, a quick shower and it was off to visit a brewery - the only one inside the city : then a taste - at 6.5% alcohol on a near empty stomach I was just about knocked flat - the guys then had another 'glass', at 9%, from which I thankfully abstained

Tomorrow we do a city tour, then might get a small ride in the afternoon - so far my total is 889km !
