I visited Belgium and the Netherlands in March. My trip ended the day the "travel ban" went into effect. Had an amazing time all the same. Wish I was "still in fucking Bruges!"
Brugge first. Had some rain for a bit on one day, but otherwise, beautiful weather. Besides, with these old medieval towns, sometimes the rain feels appropriate.
I may post some Amsterdam later.
I don't remember why I blindly bought In Bruges on DVD 10 years ago. I think maybe because it was $5 or something. Seeing these photos does suddenly make me want to watch it again. Maybe the lack of basketball and baseball on TV thanks to COVID-19 has something to do with it too. But still, I appreciate seeing the city in a more positive light. Thank you.

It was the movie that put Bruges on my radar. The main portion of my trip was to Amsterdam, but I made time to take a train and spend a few days in Bruges. It's really an incredible place. I definitely relate more to Ken than Ray in the film.
And I feel you on the lack of basketball. The NBA season was suspended while I was over there. Sucks.
