    There was no fish when I went there, only crafts and some jewellery stalls. But the surrounding atmosphere was good and a good photo spots with old buildings and boats. Lots of chairs available to enjoy the moment.

    We took a day trip to Bruges Belgium. I love the Bruges Zot beer. The chocolate is to die for. We brought back several pounds. My luggage was overweight with Belgium chocolate s and Dutch cheese. Mmmmmmm
