Hey thanks for all the info. yes we are going to Brugge, the only reason for going to Brussels is my friend and her husband live there.
My cousin lived in London for a yr. so I've got a lot of info from her as well, she also said eating at pubs was cheaper than restaurants too. I see your from Australia, that will be my next destination, I've always wanted to go there since I can remember. I don't know why it just fascinates me. But people tell me that New Zealand is better, so I may have to go to both and decide for myself. Anyhoo...happy traveling. :)
