Michelangelo

I finally saw the Michelangelo painting in the main Cathedral of Brugge today, it was quite spectacular. The cathedral is gargantuam, it's really difficult to take in everything. You almost feel lost. Brugge is an incredibly dense city with buildings packed tightly together, each boasting something expensive or worth seeing. The town is quite massive and from a birds eye view looks like a maze, it really is and with all the tourists its difficult to see everything. To be quite honest, it's so commercial that you focus more on the things for sale than the history, it's really a tourist trap. I feel better riding my bicycle through Brugge, you get more sightseeing in, and by travelling into the dark alleys you really see the old parts of the city.

Today I went with three other guys. Brugge is usually the place to unwind for everybody at Cycling Center, if you know where to go in the tourist pit. We saw the the best voted chocolate in Europe, of course I bought a piece. It was too good to be explained in words, I'm sorry. Though I did have a small tear come out when I bit into it. It was a fun day, got some presents for my family and friends while I was there, so it was well worth it.
