hey everyone it's morgan yates and i'm back with episode three of my european summer series where
i'm bringing you guys along on my two month european travel adventure in case you missed it
i recently spent a few days in paris and then visited the city of eprine and the champaign
region you can find those vlogs linked in my summer playlist below but today i'm in belgium
in the beautiful canal city of bruges i actually wasn't familiar with the city until doing research
for this summer and i'm so glad i went here so let me just show you and let's hop into bruges
hotel room tour i do not recall booking this i mean i guess i did
it does not look this big these are such high ceilings and then pretty we are in belgium
i'm so excited
also it's so cute here we've been here for one minute i think i'm gonna love it
made it to bruges we're gonna be here for the next two nights
quite a train journey to get here that was rough that's fine it's just a little bit stressful
nearly thought we were gonna not make the train here because it was so confusing like our
two why two of our three trains they were having screen errors and our trains weren't
showing up on the screens to like tell you which platform anyways we narrowly made it we're here
the drive here was like 10 minutes from the train station everything was so beautiful
i think we're going to love it here i love you here already and this hotel is beautiful
i'll have the name on screen wow i feel like royalty i feel like this is like the plaza hotel
vlogging on the run first exciting thing we're doing in bruges is meeting up one
of you guys let's follow her name jasmine we've dm for years and she lives in belgium
and i'm so excited which way should we go out the elevator anyways we are
meeting up with her and her girlfriend for dinner which i'm very excited about
how will we do in heels is the question on these cobblestone roads all the buildings are so cute
she said storming right through you're gonna twist your ankle please don't
dinner's so fun right they were so cute the sun sets here at 10 p.m i love it here i have the
best dinner doesn't every girlfriend are so fun i feel like we're going with the locals i'm just
kidding we're just looking at the end okay bye like this is just the architecture everywhere
oh like this have you this one's in it cameo with the swan
we have no idea what any of them
good morning from bruges in a very nice hotel room i'm obsessed with this room like this hotel alone
is maybe my favorite so far the city just like vibe wise aesthetic wise like everything is
just so cute i wish we were staying here longer except also not because i don't know i don't know
how much exactly there is to actually do here but everything in bruce so far is beautiful if this is
not on your radar and you're ever in the nearby region you have to come here but also just this
hotel is amazing we were watching netflix last night and with like this view and i was just like
i feel like i am eloise at the plaza today is our only full day in bruges it's currently like noon
already last night we had such a fun dinner after that gisele and i were walking home it appears
that things closed very early here like most things close at like 10 um but there were a couple
bars that were open until like midnight or two so we went into one that was like so chill it was a
pool bar they had a ton of pool tables upstairs and it was like free so we both just got a beer
that the bartender recommended for us like a belgian beer and loved that we're chatting
with him he was so sweet just like walked on home it feels very safe like very clean peaceful vibes
here um we were passing the square last night on the way to dinner too and there was live music
and like all these old couples were dancing and it was so cute and then like like from very far
away one like old man like motioned us over it was cute but we had to go to dinner so for our
full day today first thing on the agenda get a belgian waffle at some point i think we want to
try belgian fries because a lot of you guys been damning me at recommendations for that and then
we have a brewery tour for a local brewery here at 1 30. we're just gonna go from there pretty much
i feel like you can just walk anywhere and it's gonna be beautiful might do a canal tour lots of
options i love it here i'm so happy let's seize the day good morning bruges beautiful beautiful
like you literally stumble upon stuff like this like at every turn this is where we're going to
try our waffles waffles what you want to read it first belgian wall i gotta see everyone blt
narrow little streets almost brewery tour time
that's great that's blurry i love the name of it i enjoyed the tour
i learned a lot you're like that matter and which one do you like better
we learned so much about how beer is made this place opened in what the 1800s and it's like
six generations of the same family has continued to pass it down and what i thought was the
coolest is that from here they used to make it historically yeah throughout time they created
like this six million dollar pipeline that like takes the beer from here under like the whole city
to like their manufacturing plate industrial place where they like do the last steps this place used
to deliver the beer to your house like people's houses as well but then they said in the 70s is
that when grocery stores started or at least here i don't know they're having a lot of supermarkets
and then they like lost most of their business because they couldn't compete with like the
more convenience of that i guess they wanted to change all their the whole way they like
manufactured it to stand out and anyways it was just cool to learn about it it was just like
sweet old man giving before we're gonna enjoy our beers cheers next up we're doing the connections
the lecture wow
we were up there for the brewery tour and this is the lowest bridge in the
city duck duck i think it's gonna be fine nope it's fine
you get that one
two very fun things the brewery tour and our canal tour that we just went on if you're ever in bruges
they're basically just like all the stands look the same they're just like different boat um just
different companies on the canal i think all of them because we want to a few different ones just
to compare i think all of them are 12 euros per person for 30 minutes and it was cute you just
like sail along they give you lots of info on everything you're passing and right now we're
hungry gals we are going to try two other things here in belgium we're going to get belgian fries
and a chocolate waffle because earlier we had a savory waffle and we learned
there that there's two kinds of waffles like the brussels waffle which is like arizona
yeah i don't know it was like a soft like fluffy waffle and then there's what the leash yeah i
don't know that i think looks better it's gonna be like richer i think or just like thicker i
don't know sweeter dessertier yeah dessertier we're gonna go get desserty waffles or one share
that share some fries dipping along very excited all right chocolate waffle time trier see it is
good
next up belgian fries we thought this special sauce was on the side
but it's not yeah mayo ketchup and onions feels very crispy
good we're at this beer place and the menus are on the ceiling just upload them
you grab like your language also is a really cool beer wall this is where we are now we're
gonna share a little flight of local beers these are our local beers in england goes one two three
very light it's very light that doesn't taste very ipa it's good
this is the beer wall so many beers it goes on and on and on and on around the whole restaurant
there's the bar
for some belgian chocolate do we know what to get there's so many options those are like the gifts
morning from our last morning in belgium we are heading off this morning it's like
10 a.m to go to amsterdam for the next three days and from there we go on to greece which
i'm so excited about so i've not researched a lot about amsterdam kind of going and blind
we're gonna be winging it when we get there but we have two trains this morning um kind
of a tight connection again like 20 minutes so we're going to cross our fingers and let's go
here we go
oh
okay
and that is it for bruges this is a little bit of a slower paced vlog but overall this
was just a very peaceful gorgeous city the waffles delivered the canals were stunning
and overall i just thought this town was so quaint and pretty so
