Once we got up, we packed our bags and went to the train station. We said our goodbyes to Tio Gerardo and got on the train to Brussels.
For an hour and a half, I played Escoba de Quince and played Score Hero on my mom's phone. In Escoba de Quince, I lost twice. I started to play against my mom again, but we had to get off the train.
Once we got off, we had to change trains so we could go to Bruges. We got on the train to Bruges, and I looked at the scenery for an hour. It was beautiful!
We got off and went to our hotel and dropped off our bags.
Once we put our bags up, we took a walk through the city. Bruges had many cobblestone streets.We saw the city hall. It was built in the thirteen hundreds! Then we went to a plaza that had a clothing store called Sissy Boy. It think that's a funny name for a clothing store because if you call someone a sissy, they would be insulted.
After that, we went to a park that had a playground. We played for a little bit. It was fun! It was kind of like an obstacle course. Then we went back to the hotel to see what our rooms were like.
We had two adjoining rooms, and they were both large. Nina and Mommy shared a room, which had one king-sized bed. Pablo, my dad, and I shared a room that had two queen-sized beds. I slept in one by myself. It was cool. I stretched out as far as I wanted to on the bed. I was sideways when I woke up the next morning, and my head was almost hanging off the bed.
Then we took another walk and saw the Church of our Lady, which is the tall building behind me in the picture above.
The Church of our Lady in Brugge is the second tallest brickwork tower in the world! Just like the City Hall, it was built in the thirteen hundreds!
I feel like we were always walking by a river in Bruges.
Towards the end of our walk, we went to grocery store to get food for our dinner. Then we went back to the hotel and ate dinner. I ate corn cakes, strawberries, and a hard-boiled egg. It was delicious!After dinner, we went on another walk, and we saw windmills! The windmills were on hills, and I climbed them without using my hands. They were steep!
Then we went back to the hotel and got ready to swim. We went to the pool and swam around. There was an old man who wasn't wearing any clothes except for a little towel on his shoulder, and whenever he saw Mommy he sort of covered himself up. I didn't see him, but my mom told us about him after we got out of the pool. People in America don't go into a hotel pool without a towel and without clothes, and I'm glad they don't do that.
After the man left, Nina bumped her head on the side of the pool, and we soon left, too.
