We decided that Liege was a bit too busy for parking overnight, even though we had found a quiet, tree lined car park, for free but the City was really coming to life at 6 pm on a Saturday evening, with hordes filling the street cafes and the shops were still open. We thought the early hours might get a bit noisy, so we moved on and spent the night at a Motorway Services. A handy alternative when travelling at night and unlike home, you don’t get charged for staying more than 2 hours.
The next day we planned to use the Municipal Motorhome park by the Coach station, in Bruges. Water and Electric included and an easy walk into the town centre, through a Park. Not having Sat Nav, we did struggle a little finding the place and had a scary moment when we thought we had found it, tried to go through the barrier entrance but the car in front stopped and the barrier didn’t raise. They then sent their son back to tell us the Car Park was full and we needed to reverse out onto the main road. Mike had to go out and stop the traffic. That wasn’t my best moment!
Luckily, we had now spotted where we needed to be going, got ourselves set up and went for a walk around Bruges, which of course involved sampling a local beer and some chocolate.
We had been to Bruges, about 12 years ago and had always hoped to go back.
Doing it on the cheap £19.50 to park for the night, with water, electric etc seemed to good to miss.
Shall we dance?
Drooling!
