Another Kris with a K

Tuesday, PM, Bruges
We made it into Bruges around 630-7pm...it was fairly deserted just outside the train station. Once again, bikes were parked all over the place. We walked through another deserted part of town towards Markt Square. I don't know whats up with us entering towns during hours when the streets are deserted..but it seems to be a trend.
We took some photos of Markt Square and then circled a few blocks before finding our hotel. We checked in, stashed our bags and headed downstairs for a beer in the restaurant bar. The guy who checked us in ended up being the owner, and his name happened to be Kris...with a K! Not short for Kristopher or anything, just Kris. Ha. Very nice guy, directed us towards the trappist Rochefort 8 beer. A 9.5degree (percent alchohol) dark beer. Got to talking, he was a soccer player growing up as well. We chatted for about 45 mins to an hour and then set off for dinner along a street he recommended we look down (away from the Markt square for cheaper prices). Settled on a place and we both ordered Jupiler's (Bruges version of Miller Light) and Flemish stew. Both were excellent.


Afterwards we peeked into a few bars just off the Markt Square and dropped into one for a drink before heading back to the hotel and calling it a night. It was a long day of travel.
