We have been a couple of times, both via cruises. We are there again in December.

I agree, everyone seems to go into Kamikaze mode when they're out and about. And as for the large zebra crossing at the main square, I think that's there purely for decoration.

In Ragusa Ibla, Sicily, there's a zebra crossing painted alongside the road.... :shock: :?

Just been looking at the Bruges live cam and a group of four adults standing in the road chatting.

Mad a box of ferrets

Elf and safety don't exit over there.

Worse, you'll have several monitors set up so that you don't miss out on anything.

A bit like now :)

That's not me in Bruges, you know. Are you talking about that big Welsh bloke in the main square with a sheep under each arm?

We'll be in trouble soon. We seem to have hijacked three threads.

We are due to call at Zeebrugge next month. Having been to Bruges quite a few times independently, we want to do something different and don't really want to go to Ghent either.

Is there much to do in and around Zeebrugge itself ?
