Update:
Wednesday is a market day. This means a lot of people drive enormous truck-like stalls into Marketsquare, and set up shop. We walked through, looking at all the fresh produce, and various dairy products. We grabbed two waffles, and ate as we walked.
At some point, we decided to go up the belfry, which was a rather treacherous climb.
At the top, there was an awesome view of... everything?
There were marks on the window sills pointing to various cities, and giving the distance.
Apparently Paris is 290 mysterious units of distance away. Radey was surprised by the loud hammerings on the bell, as the tower began to play some song. As we were about to head down, we were both surprised by the very loud gonging of the hour.
Back on the street, we walked down Geldmuntstraat, which contains many stores selling many differnt things. Radey demanded some chocolate sea shells, and I got a chocolate hedgehog. At some point, I also got a cone of fries. Wandering southwards, we found "The Beer Wall" which is a wall displaying the 500+ varieties of Belgian beer, which were all sold in their shop. I got a Leffe 9, and Radey got two fruit beers.
I forgot to mention that I caught whatever Radey has/had, and was pretty tired. We crashed back at the hostel for a few hours, afterwhich we went back downstairs (which is a bar), and Radey got a cherry beer. She liked it. We then went out and got dinner at The Hobbit, which had decent and plentiful pasta. We went for a stroll, taking a few night shots of Bruges and retired for the evening.
