Bruges Hostel: Youth hostels, in the country, will give you a bed for 30 to 40 cents and meals for about the same price apiece; which leads me to mention a youth hostel ship, named Chapman, moored in Stockholm at the quay of Skeppsholmen Island, opposite the Old City. It is open to all members of the International Youth Hostel Federation and also to anyone who can show the special identification card issued by the Swedish Touring Club at a low price. Meals are taken at a snack bar in the ship.Regular daily launch trips are available on the lovely River Meuse between Namur and Dinant (3 hours one way) and between Dinant and the French frontier. A launch may also be used for the placid canal journey between Zeebrugge, on the coast, and bruges hostel. Along the coast, frequent trams ply the entire distance, from Ostend to Le Zoute, near the Dutch border and to La Panne, near the French border. One-day and five-day tickets valid for unlimited travel along the whole coast and to and from bruges hostel and Fumes are available for a mere 70 and 200 francs respectively.
bruges hostel is the picture town of all the nether lands, once the richest ort city in northern Europe. Now, in its somnolent repose, the inherited lories of its great days have been captured by us tourists and our ameras. Try to take in a carillon concert from its famous bells in the )fty belfry of the Grand' Place, and in any case don't fail to see bruges hostel t night, taking one of the tours-by-launch through the canals to enjoy le fairylike illuminations of the old buildings. Of the many standard aytime sights don't miss the two-decked Chapel of the Holy Blood, nor ic Gruuthuis, finest medieval palace in Belgium, nor the Hospital of t. John, with Memling's greatest masterpieces, including that gem of mini-hire, the Chdsse [Reliquary] of St Ursula, nor the lovely old Beguinage, epical of the bruges hostel that has grown so old so gracefully. The beguinages of ielgium, I may explain here, are beautifully kept "compounds" of homes for idigent old women. The miniature houses are often of such exquisite charm lat they constitute one of the major attractions of the country. |
