wafflebrugge is the name of my blog – I’m sure it would have occurred to some why I chose this name. I think I had the best moment of my recent life in a town called Brugge (pronounced as brooooh) in Belgium. What was the moment? Sitting by a canal and enjoying freshly made, hot waffles with chocolate syrup with a sweet companion bought from a €1 a piece road-side vendor. Hence the name wafflebrugge for my blog address and chocolate waffles for my blog title. Whenever I see/type/hear wafflebrugge I get reminded of those few minutes in Brugge and it makes me feel great instantly! Ok, time for some pictures: all of the following are taken in Brugge, Belgium this summer, except the last one in Amsterdam, Holland –
You can still see the waffle vendor in the background from whom I bought the tastiest chocolate waffles in the world.
Windmills are very characteristic of Holland and Belgium; and many works of the Dutch genius Vincent Van Gogh find inspiration in these ancient windmills.
Tiny streets lined with old stone houses and stone roads that makes a funny noise when cars go past them – found in many towns all over Europe, especially in Italy.
Canals flaked by typical Dutch/Belgian style houses (characterized by steps/curves triangulating upwards, small width and no gap in between). I took this picture standing on a canal bridge which is also a common scene in Holland, Belgium and the sinking city of Venicia (Italy). Also one of the major Van Gogh inspirations.
Since I already mentioned his name twice, I had to put up this picture taken right outside the VV Gogh museum in Amsterdam, Holland – that houses world’s largest collection of VVG’s works. Please visit this website for more info – http://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/
