Brugge, Belgium, Knokke-Heist, Belgium - day 3

We headed for the Belfry first thing it opened. It was an amazing experience, we were lucky to head in first thing in the morning, as we got down to the ground level there were 50+ kids waiting in the line. I would hate to be stuck on those steps with two way traffic!
We then headed up north towards the coast of Belgium, a place called Knokke-Heist. It was an interesting coast, very heavily commercialised, I mean you get tents, sofas on the beach owned by different pubs and restaurants, very bizzare. Shopping experience was awesome! There are plenty of high end shops on each side of the streets leading to the coast. Most of them offer tax free shopping. Knokke-Heist is only kilometers away from the Netherland border. The coast is definitely better than UK but gee, we Australians are blessed with beautiful beaches.
We headed back by train, a really old train, full of characters and comes in 2 carriages only! Very cute indeed.
Time to recuperate and pick ourselves up in time for night pub hopping and dinner.
We headed to Cambrinus for a drink or two then decided to have some dinner there too. The food is amazing, cheaper than restaurants at the Markt and so much tastier! I highly recommend this place, make sure to make reservation, its really the place to eat & drink in Brugge!
Mike tried 3 different beer and I stuck with my Faro.
