Bruges: Rated among Best!

[Chocolate Teapot]

I was in Bruges today and can confirm the boat tours which go from Katelijnstraat and Wollestraat both take credit cards.

Really looking forward to seeing Bruges. We are on a river cruise and booked an extra excursion to there for next Friday. (Not only Good Friday, but also DW's birthday!)

 

We were supposed to go there last summer on our Prima ocean cruise, but Zeebrugges was cancelled for an extremely low tide. We were also supposed to go on a river cruise in the Netherlands and Belgium around 20 years ago on a Christmas/New Year's break that was chartered out from under us after full payment was made.

We did one river cruise and it was so stressful worrying about water levels.  Thinking spring and high water levels we booked fall, not even thinking of LOW water levels after the heat of summer.  We were very fortunate to just get through one of the canals before it was closed to ships following us.  We would have been so upset to have our river cruise turned into a bus tour!  We are going to Bruges May 25-29 before our cruise out of Southampton and are really looking forward to it.  Hope everything will be open for Good Friday!

And we are back, and we finally got there. It was worth it, but it would still have been better to have been able to go there this past summer as on our river cruise by going to Brugge, we did not get to explore Ghent.
