Brugge is a place that time forgot.  When their port filled with silt a few hundred years ago, the activity moved onto other ports.  Brugge never had the money or inclination to "modernize" so they now have a city that looks pretty much like it looked in the 1600's.  Watch for the pictures of the lady doing lace work by hand.  I bought a ton of chocolate and - well - it's all gone....
