Left brugge and wandered through the markets that were being held in the Markt. This was where the locals got all their food! We couldn't find any supermarkets or shops that sold anything to eat at home, all our time in brugge. This was where they gto their fruit, veges, fish + meat (all laid out, no refridgeration, it's cold enough).
This time we got on the bus and managed to stay on until we were back at the train station. On to Antwerp.
This city was much bigger (and dirtier) than Brugge. We went on a walk that took in all the old buildings and the river that the city sits on. We each got a pizza for lunch, and saved half for dinner, go the cost savings :) We were very proud of ourselves.
We wandered back to the train station and went on to Den Haag. When ariving at the other end, we were a bit lost, as all we had was the address of the place we were heading to. But there was help, in the form of a fantastic, god-send, computer. This computer asks you where you want to go, then prints out a map, with the route to take, for you. You can also get it to print out different walks around the city, so good, we need one of them!
Our hostel was really nice, we had a shower and a toilet just fopr our room of 6 beds (with only 4 people that night). woo. Would have been a good nights sleep had the girl above me not been trowin gup all night and wobbling the bed as she stuggled down to run to the toilet. poor thing :/
