Liederdorp, Holland to Lille France.

26 MAY, 2008: BRUGE, BELGIUM.

Again, it’s a gray wet day. Bought gas & left early. It cost 55 euros to pump 36 litre of gasoline. What’s that in $/gallon? I’m not going to calculate that until I get home! I don’t need any bad news today. Stopped to look at an old castle towers in Zierikzee, Holland. Apparently, it’s leftover from a wall that once surrounded this small Dutch town. Many of these castle walls were rendered useless with the development of cannons in the 1200’s. Later in the day we spent a few hours exploring the old Belgium town of Bruge.

We got lost again in another European city. This time it was in Lille, in northern France.
