Plopperdeplopperdeplop (ding!)…read more Nu we dat uit ons systeem hebben kunnen we het over serieuze dingen hebben toch? (Of minstens een poging tot). Plopsaland is zeker de moeite waard. Het park is uiteraard bestemd voor kinderen al heeft men de laatste jaren er enkele tiener thrill rides bijgeplaatst zoals The Ride to Happiness die er volgens mijn zoontje wel meer uitzag als The Ride to Nightmare omwille van de vele loopings. Binnen enkele jaren zal hij het vast en zeker wel cool vinden. Hey park is mooi aangelegd en voldoende verscheidenheid in de verschillende attracties. Een hele dag rollercoasters kan maar lekker chill kan ook. Tof vond ik Wickieland. De Wickie The Battle is de max. Ga je nat worden? Yup. Gaat het het waard zijn? Yup, toch op een zonnige zomerdag. We waren ook fan van De Draak, DinoSplash en de glijbaan binnen het Maya gedeelte. De Plopsaparade was een toffe verrassing. Als vegetariër was het een beetje zoeken naar opties. Op het plannetje stonden vele opties aangegeven (vooruitgang!) maar helaas was het vaak dezelfde optie zijnde vegetarische wok. Bizarre keuze voor Mr Spaghetti waar ik me aan een lekkere pasta met groentjes verwachtte. Eten kan je doen tot rond 17u en dan zie je de opties één voor één sneuvelen. Laten we dan even een K3 concert geven en all eetgelegenheden sluiten. Fantastische timing...niet dus. Bij het frietkot stuurden ze ons naar Mr Spaghetti en daar zei men dat de keuken gesloten was. Parking was goed beschikbaar en bereikbaar. Personeel is over het algemeen vriendelijk. Zeker een aanrader.

We got there around 4:50pm. Many things around the city close around 5 or 6 pm so it was a great start to our trip considering it was a tour of 30 minutes. Our boat guide was great and gave us information on the buildings that we saw. The views are some of the best in the city. I highly recommend.

You probably know some version of it from wherever you hail from. Star crossed lovers...tragic death...undying love. And poor Minne ends up under the water and this becomes the Lake of Love.

During the holidays, the Minnewater is host to an ice-skating rink with connected "winter bar" and small eatery. It is located right near the train station, so when you are planning your walking path to the city center, do make it your first and last stop during your day trip to Brugge.

I don't know, guys. Maybe it's just me, but I don't necessarily think this "lake" and park are…read moreworth the hype. We decided to do a day trip to Brugge and visit the canals which were breath-taking, as was the architecture and quiet feel of the town. My cousin said her friends rave about the "Lake of Love" so we drove out of our way to pay this spot a visit. Maybe it's because we visited on a gloomy Monday, or because I've been spoiled by Central Park, but I honestly thought this was more like a large pond with a bridge, and a confusing layout for anyone trying to navigate to the spots pictured when you look up the park on Google. Pretty, yes. Worth driving to if you're not in the area? No. Not in my opinion.

The Lake of Love in Bruges was the most romantic spot we visited during our recent trip to Europe…read more I recommend you come here late at night when the rest of the tourists have retired to their hotel rooms and the streets are virtually empty. There are no horse drawn carriages or bevy of swans at this time, though you may catch a glimpse of a swan or two waddling back to their nests. The Lake at night is eerie, silent and unstirring, where the only movement is the mist rolling across the surface of the water. The porch lights from the nearby homes and churches project a warm light across the lake and you will feel like you are alone in a place that time forgot. If you have a fondness, as I do, for things ancient and seemingly haunted you will not be disappointed.
