Starting on day 8, we had no reservations and no set plans. From here on it’s just looking at the map and wandering wherever looks exciting. We settled on Brugge, Belgium. We packed up our room in Paris and headed to the train station with our Eurorail passes in hand. It was a loooong, difficult travel day (turns out that getting a seat on the train in the height of summer tourist season is more difficult than we’ve experienced in the off-season, should have seen that coming…), but we made it to our hotel in Bruge around 8:30pm and had one of our best meals at a local restaurant!
