We live in Belgium, in Bruges (Assebroek).Bruges was the cultural capital of Europe in 2002.

Our house is only 1 km away from the centre of this medieval city (you can use our bikes).
Shops are very nearby.
Bruges is one of the most beautiful and picturesque cities of Europe, visited by tourists from all over the world. There are many museums.Unesco world heritage
You have forests at 4 km and 4 swimming pools. There is also a family-attraction parc with dolfinarium
(BOUDEWIJN SEAPARC).
Bruges is only 16 km(20 min) from the Belgian coast (north sea)with its beaches and dunes.
Our family:
We are just the 2 of us now. We were a family of 7 persons: my husband JAN (66 years), 3 children: a girl LIEN (41), a boy WOUT(38) and our grandchildren: Anna (9j) and Emiel (6 year)- His partner Anniek with her 2 children Nore(13) and rune (11). HANNES (33) and his partner SILKE(34) and myself GRIET (64), but normally they don't travel with us.
Still, depending on the destination some one can/ could like to travel with us....
We love the mountains or sea and nature, but an interesting city can tempt us as well.
