In Brugge... saw the movie, went to see for myself

Went away for the weekend to Brussels/Brugge with a few friends (8 of us altogether) and it was pretty awesome. Prior to the trip it was compulsory to watch the movie In Brugge as a preparation exercise.

So off we went on Saturday morning catching the Eurostar. It was a good train ride and most of us spent the time playing NDS or catching up on some sleep. When we arrived, we dropped out bags off at the hotel and went straight to Brugge.

For those who saw the movie, everything is where it should be, including the restaurant where Colin Farrell was sitting in under the bell tower, and the bell tower itself and I can tell you now if you fall off it, you will not be able to talk for however long it was in the movie. It was a beautiful place, I wouldn't describe it like they did in the movie at all!

Brussels was a bit dull in comparison but it was a nice place with lots of food. Saw a few things like the pissing boy and girl but the highlight has to be the food, chocolates, and beer!
