This "beer scooter" sort of sums up the town of Bruges: classic, quirky, with a touch of whimsy thrown in so you are not tempted to take it too seriously. This is above-all a tourist town with all manner of ways to show you the highlights.
By horse and buggy, which plow through the narrow cobbled lanes at a dangerous clip:
As in any Belgian tourist town, the lace and chocolate shops dominate the scene, and there are many dozens of restaurants selling the local fare like Moules Frites. We made a pact early in the day to do whatever it took to avoid frites, so we stumbled on a street with a number of ethnic restaurants. There was even a South African place, Greek and Brazilian, but the Lebanese place, called Cedrus was our choice. So no frites, but wonderful Fatoosh, lamb and pinenuts meatballs and stuffed vegetables. Delicious!
Farewell from Belgium!
