Travel - Belgium - Bruges Part #1 - Exploring by foot

After a week in France we traveled to a picturesque little town called Bruges (aka Brugge) in Belgium. The language spoken is Belgium, Flemish, is very close to my native language Afrikaans. Although it was awesome to be able to communicating in Afrikaans, we mostly spoke English when communicating with locals.

After booking into our hostel (close to the middle of town) we decided to explore by foot - like we always do. The Vesten river basically flows around the entire old town and you can walk all the way next to it to admire some windmills. We also walked to the very center of Bruges where you can admire Grote Markt (the main market), the medievel bell tower called Belry of Bruges and explore Burg Square and its surrounding landmarks.

The thing that immediately hit you when you visit Bruges is how chilled it is. Yes, the red brick architecture and medieval building styles are amazing, but the level of CHILL is really impressive. It is as if nothing can rush anyone in this old little town. What a unique and amazing vibe!

Tell me what you think and stay tuned for more?!

Sorry for your loss and congratulation!

You have been victim of a @GrumpyCat flag because you or someone else sent money to buy votes from an irresponsible non-GrupyCompliant service.

@boomerang and @appreciator are acting irresponsibly by selling votes to people on their post in the last hours before payout. = 99.99% abuse rate.

To know what voting bot to use, refer to https://steembottracker.com/ and use those that have 3.5 day or less in the "Max Age" column.

Hi @grumpycat. This is really unnecessary. I have never posted anything unauthentic and have only done positive things on Steemit. You have taken some of my hard earned dollars away because of this negative vote without any warning? I did not even know I was doing anything wrong?!

Most of the bots on https://steembottracker.com/ have more than 3.5 days in the Max Age column.

Please can you assist me in taking this negative vote away? You can look at my profile an judge yourself. Would it not rather be better to punish the guys that are doing wrong if you want to judge?!

That being said, I completely understand how people are milking the rewards pool and I appreciate people like yourself fighting them. I'll be more careful who I use in future.

Please let me know?

Damn man, that really sucks. I think you really did not deserve this. Especially because the upvotes happened in the first day, so actually no abuse by you.
And no explanation what so ever...
I'm putting you on my voting list!

really fabulous travelling

I really need to visit this city! I live in Belgium but never been there ...

Haha, you won't be disappointed... :)

@grumpycat has struck again

I am calling you to my cause against because you are a follower of myself or a victim of @grumpycat or both. Please review the newly published Grumpy Report and vote your conscience for posts on there to help them recoup their losses.

None of those posts are vetted. Please do the vetting yourselves. If you find there are any bad/offensive posts, please leave a comment for others.

Any upvotes on the Grumpy Report will be converted directly into STEEM power to use in votes to help people recoup losses from @grumpycat tyranny

Ha! I actually recognize venues from that movie, "In Bruges". Nice. BTW, I have my upvote powering up for you. It's low from so much upvoting today. You'll get it though. For sure.

great travelling

You are innocent...Your post is fresh.

Please read my open letter and resteem it if you agree.
