A love letter to Bruges

Dear Bruges

I think I started to fall in love with you when I first heard about you in a movie my husband loved, you may have heard of it considering you starred in it. It’s called In Bruges and starred (alongside you of course) Colin Farrell.  My husband fell in love with you while watching the movie and it kind of rubbed off on me after I looked you up and discussed you on Twitter.

When I boarded the train from London I started to feel an even stronger attraction. Maybe that was just because I loved the train so much. Gosh trains are so much better than airplanes.

I fell deeper in love with you as we drove, very precariously, into your market square to our hotel and the wheels of our hire care bumped almost melodiously over your cobbled roads.

Your history, your beauty, your fairytale mystique, it got me. But then again so did your plethora of hot chips, waffles and chocolates.

The canal ride you offered was like stepping back in time , more so than your museum attraction which was fun. But odd. A 4D film about a bird and some young lovers, however amazingly put together, did not inform me about your history as much as that idyllic ride around your canals.

Only the horse drawn carriage ride could match it. I will forever equate the “clip clop” noise of the horses hooves around the square with the music of Bruges.

From your magnificent (but steep) bell tower to your hundreds of quaint and tiny streets, your hundreds of chocolate shops to your lace filled shop windows I love you from top to bottom.

Just one thing:  the chocolate shops with the carved chocolate penises and very graphic sex scenes – a little warning would have been good before we got there. But thanks for showing my son some things I don’t think he’d ever seen before today. Not at all awkward examining the chocolates as a family.

I love you Bruges and if I wasn’t on my way to Barcelona to board a cruise I would be really very sad to leave you.

  1. Hello Lana! Once a time I was in Bruges as well, and your words reminds me my days there. May I ask you that do you still remember the name of the 4D film (about a bird and some young lovers)? I watched it there but now I forgot the name. I want to find some information about the film. Thank you!
