- UK and Europe - kids everywhere with dummies even older kids
- it can be tricky at times using toilets, doors that lock a million different ways, especially the automatic self cleaning ones that secure you as in a prison cell and leaving one feeling panicked if it will open again, and is the red button for exit or emergency !!
- and still on toilets, there are many more ways to get the darn thing to flush or the basin water to flow than I would have dreamed, but I now know that the rubber step on the floor might just release a stream of water, or better still a foot pump...
- lots closed because it's out of season - even though the autumn weather has been magnificent and mild
- Heather loves to watch the men greeting one another casually with the 3 kisses
- Tricky lunch orders,or any meal ordering with waiters that speak little English, we have to work hard and persist to get it right, or just give up and eat what comes
- intimate dining in pint sized areas where space is a premium so conversations with neighbours often occurs
- lots of great cycle lanes, though not seeing the touring cyclists
- Bruges bikes didn't require locks, and no one anywhere uses helmets
- cobblestones look great and keep the place in keeping with the period, but they are a bugger to walk on and I'm sure that's why our feet are so sore at the end of a day
- lunch times mean that all shops close up and turn off the lights for 1.5-2 hours
- I love the cool as heavy wooden doors, knockers and boot scrapers
