Belgium 2 April: Dunkirk - Brugge
We had to say good bye to good old England...
Our ferry to France was waiting...
Bye, bye Dover!
After our ferry trip across La Manche we started to run in France.
...and soon we reached Belgium...
"The province of West-Flanders welcomes you", the sign says. We know Belgians are very hospitable people and we were looking forward to run four days through this beautiful country.
Of course we met some locals and shared the Torch.
Our final destination of today was the Unesco heritage city of Brugge, in the West of Belgium, quite close to the sea.
We ran through the centre of town all the way to the main square.
Belgium is a country of cyclists.
Brugge is a truly historical city.
Meeting the locals.
Tomorrow we run from Brugge to Antwerp - stay tuned!
