In Bruges … stunning architecture but the number of tour groups is daunting. pic.twitter.com/YqHHzYFoHd

Atypical building (not all brick) on the edge of Koningin Astridpark where we are sitting on a lovely afternoon. pic.twitter.com/xwDoHZmw2f

Gentpoort (Gate of Ghent). One of 4 remaining medieval gates built about 1400. Can you spot Steve? #InBruges pic.twitter.com/0B2MwMFUpA

"Newspapers yes, advertising no." Every house seems to have one of these stickers on their mailbox. (Often both no.) pic.twitter.com/6kDtosPyfd

Back at the Vero Caffè for elevenses this morning. Split a small piece of delicious homemade apple/nectarine pie. Delightful little place.

Huge festival today. No cars. Music everywhere. These guys were playing "Beat It" and doing it very well. pic.twitter.com/4dv4SMXC5A

What a difference a day makes. On a Monday, Brugge seems normal. Still many tourists, but nothing like the swarms we've seen the last 3 days

Nice lunch at Brasserie Forestière … goat cheese salad with a Spanish Cabernet Sauvignon rosé. pic.twitter.com/nfjssTcaQ2

Our last day in Brugge. So a busy one as we prepare to leave for Düsseldorf (with a side trip to Ypres and Sanctuary Wood) tomorrow.

Susan in front of the very narrow alley that leads to our digs. Chocolate shop to the left; chocolate shop to the right. They are legion. pic.twitter.com/5ZS6gs9FK9

🚲 The number of people on bicycles here is astonishing. All ages. Perhaps a slight majority are women. No helmets. Few locks. Just terrific.

We took a lot more photographs in Brugge than we shared here. They can be found at … https://t.co/j8QbHNYmnt
