Good morning Bruges!
Wow, it's been a long time since I've uploaded anything!
Well, graduated from High School, went on the school orchestra trip to France/Belgium and went on a Contiki thing after that. December/January 2012/2013 was hectic indeed! In Canberra now studying Law/Science yay! Thing that has most changed since then: alcohol. Everything else is much the same ohohohoho.
The orchestra trip was fantastic. We went from Paris to Amiens to Reims and all these fantastic country French towns. Our best performance was no doubt in Villers-Bretanneux where the town hall was filled and we all played really well and it was fantastic and we got a standing ovation.
Bruges, in the morning, was amazing. It was like being transported back to a medieval period; the cobblestone streets and the soft ebb and flow of the canal seemed to give a sense of magic and nobility to the whole place; it was all rather romantic. By afternoon however, the whole atmosphere of the place had been destroyed by the huge influx of tourists (O hypocritical me). But yeah, the whole thing was really, really fun!
What I miss about Europe is instead of seeing tall buildings every day, you see magnificent old buildings that seem to stand like sentinels over the entire city. Still mesmerised by the seemingly casual sight of the Amiens Cathedral peeping over the rooftops over the hotel window.
