So in my last post I talked to you guys about Amsterdam and how it surprised me, and I would like to apologize for any grammar or spelling issues that occurred throughout my last post, and any that happen in this one. At the moment I only have my iPad to work on and it's very temperamental when it comes to some things.
After I left Amsterdam I headed straight for Rotterdam, which is a city I didn't really enjoy. It's great for people who really enjoy architecture, and don't get me wrong I do appreciate some really cool buildings, but these were mostly new modern designs and I Ike more the old buildings. I couldn't wait to leave Rotterdam.
When I finally left for Antwerp I was quite happy to be starting fresh in a new city, Rotterdam had kind of drained me. I only had one night here on Antwerp but I would thuroughly recommend it to anyone for just one night or for longer. It's actually a super cool place. Once I was settled in to my hostel I went out for a bit of a walk. I went by the river on a type of boardwalk which I have to say was probably my favorite part. I've never been on an actual boardwalk before, it was raised above the pavement with some benches and stuff so I sat down and just waited there for a while. The area was just so peaceful I didn't want to leave. At one point I noticed to my right a man just sitting there feeding some bread to a flock of pigeons, it put a bit of a smile on my face I have to admit. When I min ally felt ready to leave that area I continued on my walk. Some other stops included the big cathedral, the parliament building, a park and some other places. Honestly I wish I had spent more time here, it truly was a beautiful city.
When I did finally depart from Antwerp I headed for Bruges. Though small this city contains quite a lot. This city as far as I'm aware has the claim for lace and chocolate, and frankly hats all you kind find here shopping wise. But it has a ton of other attractions. For example the town Belfry, many churches, canals, etc. I spent 3 nights here and at the end of my second day I was unfortunately a little bored. In a smaller visit I think it would be the perfect city. There are a lot of things to do here but I think part of the problem is how homesick and just tired of the same sort of things. Do this museum and go see that church. But for the next 2 weeks, yes that's all that is left of my trip, I will persevere through my home sickness. Less than 2 weeks now. Can't wait!
