Windmills

We climbed several steep ladders to look around inside this windmill on our last day in Bruges.

Garage doors

Clever garage doors in the town.

Belgian cows

These animals look like a cow-pig combo. I believe they're Belgian Blues.

Belgian coast

The coast is lined with condos. Click on the photo to see the large-scale panorama.

Biking, part two

We biked a 45 kilometer loop out to the beach for our second bicycle outing. It rained twice, and we found shelter both times. In Belgium, bike itineraries are indicated by a list of numbered intersections rather than paths. There's a nice little video here showing how it works.

Simon Stevin Square

Walking home from dinner one night, I noticed a photographer setting up his tripod in the Simon Stevin Square. 

The church in the background is the Church of Our Lady.

Almshouses

The triangular courtyard of a set of almshouses.

Turnips

We passed a farmer pulling turnips by hand on our first outing.

Belgium week - biking the canals

From Cambridge we traveled to Bruges by train, taking the Eurostar from London through the Chunnel to Brussels, 

where we switched to a local train. Two of the days we were in Belgium, we rented bicycles and headed

 into the countryside on bike paths that occasionally follow the canals.
