Bruges Bonus Episode: The specialities and the curiosities

Before we continue on our visit of Bruges, here's a bonus episode for you! (Everybody say "Yeah!" lol) Here are all the weird stuff I didn't want to clog the other posts with.

First, something not so weird. You might know that Bruges is famous for lace. Here are some shops we saw selling lace.

The first two photos were taken near where we took the boat ride.



Then in a shop near Markt.

That's one cool teddy :D

And this was in a display outside a shop.

teddy bears and a lace umbrella...how cute!

In another shop, we saw these books stacked up against the wall.

But how?!

And then there was some panda jewellery (not in the same shop)


It's the poem that's special ^_^

click to read! (It's in French though)

We saw this flower (or fruit?) in a hotel garden. Does anyone know what it is?


In a window of a chocolate shop.

Vroom vroom! A chocolate bunny training for the Formula 1 (It'd better not go to Sepang, it'd melt!)
Don't miss the chicken beside the carrot-car! (I just saw it myself while going through the photos) Did the bunny hit it with its carrot? Killer-bunny!

the kinds of chocolate they have...

some lovely swans

When we were at the bikers' fair (it will be in one of the future episodes ;) ), there was a signboard showing the way to the toilet, so we went there before leaving the square. Turned out that they were using the toilet of a kindergarten (or preschool), and we saw this drawing on a wall.

Winnie the Pooh!

Oh, and we were right to look for a toilet. Peeing in public costs a lot in Belgium, as the Use-It! guide tells us.


Not that we could do much "wild peeing"...there was only one guy among the four of us :P

Oh, and those books earlier? The shop was selling a magic bookshelf.


Pity I'm not a fan of hardcover books. Or else I'd like one!
