Brugge

Charming Brugge
Peter D. Clee explores the cobbled streets

OUR CAR broke down recently while en route to a wedding in Germany. Aside from all the bureaucratic scramblings arranging a tow-truck to take us all back home there was one shining light. We had the good fortune to break down near the medieval city of Brugge; a small Belgian (well, Flemish) city replete with fine squares, tall towers and winding canals.

So we rolled into the charming little Romantik Pandhotel you guessed it, featured in Hotelgenie.com and begged them for a room. It was late, it was a public holiday weekend, but luckily they had just the one room left. We grabbed it and were not disappointed. In our exasperated state this was just the haven of peace and old-world tranquillity our minds and bodies had craved. The service was impeccable, the room a delight. Okay so we had one of the finest rooms in the place hey, fortune favours the brave you know but the overall ambience oozed elegant style throughout.

Our emotional rescue was far from over though. Once we had freshened up we took a wander through the citys cobbled streets ending up in a local restaurant. Those of you who know Belgium, will know one of Europes best kept secrets; the food here is out of this world. Moules Frites is a supreme local delicacy. Wash it down with some French wine or a cool glass of Belgian beer. In the morning relax in the breakfast room and let the Romantik serve you up a fine breakfast - with eggs cooked to taste on the range. Mmm

Those with more time on their hands and without broken down jalopies to worry about will find plenty to do on a short break to Brugge. Aside from the beautiful buildings, there is art a-plenty in the citys various museums and galleries or take a canal tour along the many waterways. For a real treat, splash out on a horse-drawn carriage ride through the labyrinth of medieval streets and squares.

So, a fine city and a lovely hotel just over 4 hours away by car (and tunnel) from London. Yes, Brugge is certainly high up on my list of places to re-visit.
