Today was our first morning in Bruges, Belgium. We enjoyed our first buffet breakfast at the hotel and headed towards the historical part of the city for a guided tour. We were able to see buildings that dated back to as early as the 9th century. Still amazed by the beautiful weather (around 20 degrees everyday!), we found it ironic that we were getting sunburned while our families back in St. John’s were in the middle of a snow storm. The walking tour lasted about two hours.
We then spent the afternoon shopping and exploring the city. H&M was the group’s most popular shopping destination. Some of us were able to enjoy a lovely horse and carriage ride, while others decided to rent bikes and see every corner of this city. Finally, after a great supper in a local restaurant, we did our last concert of tour. The church was magnificent and the acoustics were the best we have ever sung in. We went back to the hotel and packed as we need to be ready to leave for Holland in the morning. Anyways, off to bed! Goede nacht!
