After a couple of flights and a mostly sleepless night we’ve reached our first destination, Bruges, Belgium. After meeting the Grand Circle representative at the airport in Brussels we met 3 of our group who had arrived on different flights and we were driven about 90 minutes to Bruges by a very quiet but very competent driver. Not too much conversation amongst us though, as we were all in about the same level of exhaustion! The 2 women are from Colorado and the man is from Tampa, and we were the youngest in the group so far.
After dropping off our luggage at the hotel we headed out for a little bit of local sightseeing and to scout for a restaurant for dinner on our own tonight after a welcome drink with the guide and the remainder of our group. We returned to the hotel to find our room was ready for us and now, after a shower and a 2 hour nap (and a cup of good Belgian coffee) we’re refreshed and ready to face the rest of the day. I’m thinking that a good night’s sleep will reset my body clock and have us ready to conquer Europe!
Adieu for now my friends!
