One and a half years later, I return to Europe! This time, it was a personal trip. Been to Europe in the summer, but this time it's during the holiday season; Xmas and New Year's in Europe! The only place I revisited was Rome. I guess the myth of throwing a coin in the Trevi Fountain is true! ;D (Journal entries are from my travel diary I brought with me during my trip ***Still need to add other entries***)

Brugge, one of the 'Venice of the North'

Minnewater Park.
Not too long ago I was researching for nearby places to visit for a day trip from Brussels and I found out about Brugge.  It's known as "Venice of the North" but there are other places in Europe that's known as that also such as Amsterdam and Stockholm.  I was looking what I would want to see in Brugge and I really wanted to see Minnewater Park.  I'm glad I chose this place to visit.  Brugge is now on my "favorites" list. =D  When I visit Venice soon, I will see which "Venice" I like more.

Minnewater Park as well as Brugge itself is very nice.  It's definitely a nice place for a romantic date or something.  I was with my cousin to share this moment with but I don't roll that way haha.  Anyway, my cousin and I walked around Minnewater Park and the area around it.
So romantic. I didn't know there was a couple until after I took this shot.
  It's so nice and tranquil.  There were pretty canals and nice architecture too.

I was totally losing track of time.  I mean, everytime I'm traveling, I always lose track of time.  I forgot it was Christmas Eve until we went to the chocolate shops in Brugge and the chocolates were on sale.  Mmmm... Belgian chocolates!  Oh, and of all chocolates I found in Brugge, I found pen1s-shaped ones and also b00bs.

When we returned to the train station to head back to Brussels, we found out there's a train strike.  That was the first time we experienced a train strike.  Bleh.  Did I mention I was very moody too?  I still had my monthly visitor and it was very heavy.  The cold weather wasn't helping at all either.  RAWR!!
