Maastricht is a city in the very south of The Netherlands. Most people visit Maastricht when traveling from Belgium into Germany. We visited the city with one goal in mind.. to find ourselves some Dutch pancakes, and although we left without getting any delicious pancakes in our bellies, we were so happy we got to…
With no real intention of going anywhere specific in Belgium after Gent, we hit the road only to find our route took us near Liege, Belgium. We checked our trusty travel app and quickly learned that Liege was where the liege waffle was created. Hello, a MUST STOP for us.. these are our FAVORITE waffles…
Okay, last week we shared on our insta-stories that we got our rental car for our trip up to Scotland for free. And as you could have guessed, we were just as surprised as you were.. not because it was free, but because the process of getting the free rental car was so. dang. easy….
Gent is hands down our favorite city of all time! It’s known as the sister city of Bruges, though offers a less touristy, traditional Belgian vibe. Visiting Gent, we had no idea what to expect, but fell in love more and more with the city every corner we turned! We’re so stoked to be sharing…
While we aren’t major city slickers, there are definitely times to visit larger cities. When our European road trip route took us right through Bruges, Belgium, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit the city. Jay had been to Bruges a number of years ago, so he had a few places pinned on our…
Getting from the U.K. to Europe can be done a number of ways. There are many ports to take ferries from, and even the channel tunnel, offering the quickest way across the channel, but our favorite so far has been going through Dover, England. Dover is a small town in the very south of England…
When we bought train tickets to Budapest, we really had no idea what to expect. We only knew two things about Budapest; there’s a gorgeous building along the water and there are hot springs there. However, after visiting Budapest, we’ve found that this city is so much more than those two things, if only we…
A day spent in Flanders Fields wouldn’t be complete without ending it in Ypres (Ieper) for the Last Post. Ypres is a small, traditional town in West Belgium, and is arguably the heart of Flanders Fields. We visited Ypres strictly to witness the Last Post ceremony, however, we’re so surprised with how cute the town…
When thinking of Belgium, amazing beer and delicious chocolate come to mind. However, after visiting Flanders Fields, a brutal war now comes to mind too. We’re always quite fascinated with the history of places we visit, and the Dodengang Trench of Death brought the history of Belgium really to life for us. The Dodengang Trench,…
We’ve recently moved to Belgium for five weeks while Jay finishes up his final clinical placement, and we’re lucky enough to be staying with our Belgian friends while here. This past weekend (March 11th), we took an entire day to explore the Flanders Fields area of West Belgium, stopping first at the Tyne Cot Cemetery….
