Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
  
Les and I had been routing around the internet and decided that a day out like we used to have, would round off our Xmas visit. So we booked an early morning sail on Seafrance to Calais. This means that you just get up, have coffee and drive to Dover, then have the full English breakfast on board.
In the past we have always gone to Boulogne together to spend time in the Hypermarkets and then have dinner. This time we decided that a trip in the opposite direction would
be a change. We firstly went in to Dunkirk and had a bit of a wander around and a coffee and I got some Euro's out, as this trip was our thank you to Les & Jill. From Dunkirk we went on to Brugge, across the border in Belgium. There we found a huge Xmas market in the main square. Interesting to walk around, but it was freezing cold so the enjoyment was slightly spoilt. Brugge is a lovely old town, very much the tourist place but absolutely full of super restaurants, we selected one that had what looked like a nice warm, comfy environment and most importantly, for Les, moules, on the menu. Delicious we all agreed although the girls shied away from the shell fish.
Altogether a very enjoyable day out and a nice finale to our short UK visit as tomorrow its back to TRNC for Joan and I. Thanks Les & Jill for a very enjoyable Xmas, our first in UK for 5 years.
