Day 9 Bruges
-Leaving Paris was difficult, we had met so many wonderful people but Greg and I packed up and left for the train station.

-This was going to be our first time using our EURail passes
-We headed to Lille Flanders but missed our connection to Bruges.
-We waited around the station for an hour and finally got on the wrong train, but with a little help from a nice Belgian conductor we found our way to Bruges.
-Our first impression of Bruges is how quiet it is, but compared London and Paris most cities should seem quiet.
- We get situated at our hostel and decided to get beer at the bar
-Luckily we had a bar in our hostel
-All of the beers in Bruges are 6% and up so we drank two 8%
- Went downtown to a Bar that had over 300 beers, met some Belgian dudes who showed us around town
- Turns out the drinking age in Belgium is 16 so the bar scene is a little young here.
- Bruges is a sleepy town but there is a quirky part we got to see thanks to meeting some locals

Day 10 Bruges
-Had a little much to drink last night but totally worth it, today is going to be an easy day
