QuickDraw 0 #1 November 28, 2003 Bruges to be exact, just wondering whats worth seeing there ? I'll be working there next week (leaving Sunday morning and returning on Friday). I will only be able to see stuff in the evenings (after 5pm) and I'm a 10 minute walk from the town, but thought it was worth a shout anyway. Thanks in advance as ever. -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daizey 0 #2 November 28, 2003 oh its beautiful there! I went there a few years back and i loved it. The chocolate is amazing in belgium!! From what i remember the nice thing about Brugges is that its a tourist area...at the time i was there you could pay with their currency, France's currency, or even american money. I took a boat ride and a horsecarriage ride-both of which were amazing-if you could do even just one of them i would recommend it because you get to see so much-and the tours were given in a few different languages as well! Its a great area and everyone was soo nice. The buildings and the architecture are amazing, I was only 14 at the time so i didn't have as great of an appreciation for it as i would now. Some places i remember checking out were the marketplace and grand square. And of course the boat and carriage ride-i would really try and do those if you can...the boat was better than the carriage... I do have pictures around somewhere, i'll see if i can dig them up. Wish i could go back....i really enjoyed it-hope you do too! Have fun! *daizey* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McDuck 0 #5 November 28, 2003 We have friends that live in Belgium, but I have yet to have the pleasure of visiting. Perhaps some pics posted, once you return, of your time there would not be totally uncalled for.

QuickDraw 0 #6 November 29, 2003 Thanks guys, I'll try and give the 'culture' thing my full attention. I like to soak up the places i visit & maybe I'll see if there is some night-time boat/beer tour,I know a girl from Belgium, and contacted her as soon as i knew i was going, and have yet to chat about it. But thanks Daisy-Kurt-ChopChop-McDuck. I will try and post any photos or + or - comments, but to be honest, i haven't heard any bad ones so far. I'l try and drop in from time to time, but otherwise ..all have fun and stay cool & safe. Expect a full tourist-type thingy guide report sometime. -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,106 #7 November 29, 2003 Q. Who is the the most famous Belgian? A. Hercule Poirot, and he's fictional.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragontail 0 #8 November 29, 2003 I happened to jump with some people visiting from Belgium last time I visited Z-hills. Great folks. Awesome skydivers. Much fun to jump with. I think they said they would be at Z-hills this weekend. If anyone is there, say Hi to Drew for me and ask if they showed up Anyway, I'm jealous. I travel around the states often enough but have not had the pleasure of skydiving in another country. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chopchop 0 #9 November 29, 2003 Hey.. good idea.. there is a little boat tour that is just incredible but I don't know if it still runs at night. If you get a chance during the day though.. bring your camera. Brugge is one of the most scenic places I have ever been. chopchop gotta go... Plaything needs a spanking..

TheAnvil 0 #10 November 29, 2003 They have a brewery there that wasn't bad at all. There is a bar called The Hobbit that has all you can eat ribs and a damned good selection of beers and whiskey. Highly recommended. Just walking around the town is great fun. I took the little boat tour around the canal and thought it worth the $$. Don't forget to taste the chocolates. And steamed mussels with French Fries, of course.Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeemax 0 #11 November 29, 2003 theres some flat feilds and cows... if that helps.. LOL also fags are cheaper (not sure about booze) but they sell a large selection of hardcore prono in the garages Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whatever 0 #12 November 29, 2003 plenty worth seeing there... also plenty worth trying like: -Leonidas chocolates (not that mainstream Godiva stuff) -blonde beers (they all sorts of other interesting beers too) -frites, with mayo have fun! PS - watch out if you ever get in a bicycle race over there, the cyclists there are very friendly but super tough.... soon to be gone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
