Comparing Bruges and Ghent – Flemish Travel Showdown
Blog: Landlopers - 23 February 2012
When I was planning our trip to Belgium, I solicited the advice of friends and experts who had visited the low country before. Almost immediately, I sensed a strange division amongst the respondents and it all revolved around two seemingly innocent towns near Brussels, Bruges...Copyright LandLopers All Rights Reserved.

Capturing Waffle Love in Belgium
Blog: Landlopers - 24 January 2012
Chocolate or Nutella. A seemingly simple choice, especially since they’re so similar to one other, but with dozens of eyeballs boring into my back and the server at the waffle stand smiling not-so-patiently, it was suddenly impossible to decide. I hastily went with the Nutella,...Copyright LandLopers All Rights Reserved. Unauthorized use prohibited.

In Honor of the Fry: Exploring the Frietmuseum in Brugge
Blog: Landlopers - 19 January 2012
The Belgians are awesome. Unlike some other countries I won’t mention, they don’t care if everyone knows they like the best things in life. My best I mean the worst for them physically.

The Best of Bruges
Blog: The Art of Slow Travel - 27 October 2011
This is a guest post Bruges is one of Belgium’s most delightful places – a lovely medieval town of cobbled streets and canals. And… chocolate!

In Bruges
Blog: theboywhoatetheworld - 25 April 2011
I’m back from a long Easter weekend in Belgium and in withdrawal mode having had almost 20 different beer varieties, heaps of heavenly chocolate and loads of crisp, beef-dripping-fried Belgian fries. Our first stop on our 3 day break was Bruges. Bar the occasional whiff of horsedung from the army of horse-drawn carriages doing their [...]

A Month in Belgium
Blog: Ottsworld - 14 October 2010

An afternoon in Bruges
Blog: Snaps and Flip Flops - 1 October 2010
June 23, 2010 - Belgium was not part of our initial itinerary but when I saw Thalys' 50-euro roundtrip promo from Paris, I jumped at the chance. It was cheaper than going to the Gold Coast from Sydney! I've always been interested to see the country where the hubby spent a part of his childhood.

Finding the Real Brugge
Blog: Ottsworld - 16 September 2010
“You must go to Brugge.” “Have you been to Brugge?” “You can’t miss seeing Brugge!” These were the reactions I received after telling people I was spending August in Belgium house-sitting. It seemed that in Belgium, all roads led to Brugge, the little Unesco World Heritage town known for it’s medieval, historic architecture and maze [...]

Too Much Belgian Beer? Go to the Memling Hospital Museum in Bruges
Blog: MuseumChick - 1 April 2010
Planning a quick escape from Paris to Belgium started with a visit to Brussels, meeting artist Maria Andrade and visiting the new Magritte Museum. Then Mr. MuseumChick and I couldn't decide- should we do a day trip to Bruges or Antwerp? We only had time for one... The photogenic city of Bruges won. We hopped on the super easy and quick hour-long train ride and arrived in one of the most unique cities in Europe that I have experienced. We planned our search for the best beer and went to a brewery to start the day (always a good way...

In Bruges
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 29 July 2009
I’m just on my way to Bruges now after having ordered a return ticket and enquired which platform the train departs from, all in French. I do struggle a bit with mimicking the accent but I think that’s partly because I resent having to. You see it’s perfectly acceptable for David Ginola to turn up [...]
