bruegge, brugge, brügge, bruges? belgium :-)

brugge (flanders, belgium) ~ both the weather god and the parking place god didn't like our short visit to bruegge too much, i suppose. it rained most of the time and the slot where we finally parked our car in also didn't look like a real tourists' place but rather like a residential area with special park permit required. anyway, few impressions from this unesco world cultural heritage site are kept in our camera's digital memory => enjoy :-)

groede (north sea), holland

a nice sunny day? let's go to the sea :-). well, our belgian friend told us she goes most often to groede, holland because there are much less people than at the belgian beaches and she has warned us there is nothing but the beach + sea ... what? just beach + the sea? well, after 2 days of walking in cities of heidelberg + dierdorf + antwerpen was an empty beach the best what we could imagine😄

few pictures made on the way from antwerp (belgium) to the beach in groede (netherlands):

dierdorf, DE

friends, not only from bavaria is it too far to belgium. even from heidelberg it is still a challenging journey. well, we liked to take some short break in the nature and we have found dierdorf :-)

castle park ... unfortunately, the castle was destroyed some 200 years ago
