It was so easy to figure out getting to Brugge, or as the Dutch pronounce it: Bruhhe. The 3.5 hour train ride was great. We accidentally sat in first class and then had to move to 2nd class - but all the seats were already taken. After standing for about 1/2 hour some people left, so we had seats, but not together. Bruce visited with a 22 year old dynamic born again, Dutch believer. They had a great time of sharing. I visited with a 28 year old Brazilian PHD student who had just been to London presenting his thesis on the benefits of exercise and cancer; the research has shown that it can prevent cancer and also that it is crucial in recovery. They haven't yet been able to show why it is - but the results are conclusive, that it is very beneficial! We exchanged names and email addresses.
On the ride here it was raining and cloudy, but all afternoon the sun shone and once again we walked around for about 2 hours. We found the place where we will meet our barge tomorrow. After coffee (thimble size & strong), served with a small piece of cake and a cookie, so the $3.75 price didn't seem too bad!

We were told Brugge was easy to navigate and we found it so! A lovely old city - with signs on some buildings saying, '1717'! It makes Canada seem like a 'teenager'.
Apparently, Brugge/Belgium is famous for fries and waffles, so we sampled some of that for supper - more walking!
