Journey: Dunkirk – Bruges (Belgium)
After the snuggliest start to the day with all 3 furbabies in the bed, we had a lovely long walk on the beach that goes on for miles. The doggies were suitably tired so we went to LAAC contemporary art museum and sculpture garden. Some really interesting concepts and a few pieces I didn’t get. Paid respect at the war memorial and ate the obligatory coissant and warm baguette for lunch.
I loved the drive to Bruges, big straight roads in perfect condition and the motorhome is a dream to drive. We seemingly arrived at the same time as all the tour buses as it was heaving with tourists (ourselves included). Despite this we weaved the dogs through the streets and saw some amazing architecture, chocolate shops galore and the beautiful river running through.
Ernest was on stimulation overload and was fascinated by the horse and carts and a bubbly thing in the river. They coped really well with the crowds, made friends, and collapsed on the sofa when home. I have to admit that we ventured out alone later it was a lot easier. Plus it meant we didn’t have 3 dogs drooling over our waffles 😂
We did the food shopping by looking at the pictures on the packets and have tried using our Franglais (I think I’m marginally better at pronunciation than the Google sat nav lady). We are now home with sore feet having done 35,000 steps and looking forward to an early night
