Bruges-Brussels-Amsterdam

I had just came back from our delayed honeymoon, which only lasted for a week. But well, it's better than none.

As usual, we took a lot of photos, and I come back to blog about it. 

We flew to Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. This is my third time in this airport, and only the first time I really toured this city! We arrived in Amsterdam early morning, so I planned my route such that the trip started from Bruges (Or Brugge, because Dutch and French call it differently).
