Scope and content
Bruges. Took all Monday morning to get passport - then to Bruges by barge. Country flat and dull - willows, poplars, windmills, churches, cows. Staying at the Cornflower Inn. Bruges lovely and old - stalls of the Knights of the Golden Fleece in the cathedral. Streets very twisty, so easy to lose sense of direction - but the bells of the town hall help. Does not warm to the inhabitants. Long walk in morning, table d'hote at 1.00 - 1st course 20 types of boiled fish, 2nd course 20 types of fried fish. PE no fish eater, so unlucky that there are 3 rogation days this week (plus Friday and Saturday). Tomorrow to Ghent, and then Brussels. Postscript on separate sheet. Bruges fair - gingerbread stalls, puppet shows and cutlery and linen and woollen goods for sale. Encloses card of inn containing an image of the street. Jesuit college converted to cavalry barracks - the cavalry swagger as in England. Many graven images.
