Brugge, Belgium

Brugge, Belgium July 2016

The street where we stayed and the little house we rented through airbnb at

Waalsestraat 41, Bruges, Flemish Region 8000, Belgium. It was a very old house dating back to 1200's or 1300's with many eccentricities. For example, the bathroom was out the back door. The "stairs" to the 2nd and 3rd floors were more like a ladder. The houses were very close and if we had understood the language, we would have known a lot about our neighbors. But, we loved its authenticity and being able to stay in a neighborhood with the locals.

This was our dining area. My bike is in the front entry. The living room to the back left and the "stairs" to the 2nd and 3rd floors. We're enjoying crepes for breakfast.

The window to the right from the bathroom overlooks the stairs coming up to the second floor and going up to the 3rd.

Here's the view from the stairwell:

The outdoor bathroom.

The kitchen and dining room. The door to the bathroom is to the right of the back window.

Another typical street near where we stayed.

We loved the cobblestone streets throughout the city.
