So I have moved on from Brugges (I am travelling to Paris today), but my stomach is wishing I stayed longer in Brugges! Everything about my time in Brugges was great I had perfect weather, the town was beatiful, and it was nearly as blasted expensive as Scandanavia or Amsterdam! My first day I wandered around the town taking in all the different squares, markets, churches, canals, and all the sites. In the main square I bought Fries and had them with Mayonase! From there I proceeded to find the largest Spagetti Dinner you have ever seen (I could not finish it) for only 5 Euro! Finally I finished the day off eating a hot waffle with fresh whipping cream and straberries while I watched the sun set over a canal full of swans.
On my second day the weather was also beatiful and quite hot, so I did as the locals do rented a bike and headed to the sea by biking along a beatiful canal (see picture). I of course stopped in the city of Damme for a snack and had a pancake with a massive pile of fresh fruit. After that I proceded to go the wrong direction for 10 km before figuring out my mistake and turning around! Finally I made it to the beach. It really was the perfect day to go to the beach and just relaxm read a book, and take a plunge! In the evening I made my way back to Brugge for more Fries and dinner before turning in for the night. I would love to come back to Brugge some time and spend a relaxing week, it really is a nice place!

Glad you loved Brugges. This was my one city that I recommended you had to visit. Glad I did not steer you wrong!
With respect to your "small world", I totally disagree. The fact that you met up unexpectedly with a college buddy at a location which promises free beer (Heineken Brewery) does not surprise me. After all, where else would college bums hang out?!
