Cheers....

Pop at the Belgians....never. Any country that can produce such a fantastic selection of beers will never receive a slagging from me.

Went over to watch the cross worlds....amazing. http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos/2007/ ... men_0818_r

Nope, stayed in Brugge, beautiful city with plenty of great places to drink coffee, would recommend a visit.

as far as I can tell Hooglede-Gits is a coffee free zone, although I was so stuffed with frites, sausages, burgers and beer that it didnt really matter....

yep worth a trip. Beautiful city, Coffee and waffles, you can't go wrong.

One bit of advice, if they ask do you want a 'double Americano' say no, it literally comes in a bowl.....not good.
