Belgium Day 8 - Bruges and Home

We packed and tidied up, and left the apartment. We left the car where it was and walked into town. We bought some nice Belgian chocolates, then queued up for the Belfort tower. We got in just before 11 to hear the bells, and stayed until 11.30 to hear the chimes then.

The chimes are controlled by the pegs in the carillon pushing levers.

We walked around a bit more, then bought some frites for lunch.

After making our way back to the car we drove to Brussels Charleroi airport, about 160km away. After dropping the car off we went into the airport, and had a couple of beers while waiting for our flight.

It was ahead of time and we landed about 18:45, and got a taxi home.
