Wow! What a lot of great info! I am going there in Sept with 2 biking friends on a Vermont Bike Tours trip. We will be traveling by barge from Brugges to Amsterdam, biking 20-30 miles each day, and looking forward to sampling lots of beer, cheese, chocolates, diamonds, etc. What more could a girl want? As I start to study the itinerary I'll be looking for even more "must see or do" events along the way. I wish we were leaving tomorrow but it's still 5 months away. I love mussels too.

Couple of quick questions - We will be near water all the time - do you think it would be possible to det a little kayaking in somewhere along the way?

Also, we have 1-2 days in Brugges at the beginning, and 3 days in Amsterdam. We want to see some museums, flower market, but will be too late for the Keukenhoff Gardens (did I spell it right?). But I'm starting to collect recommendations on other sights or restaruants or museums to see, so if anyone has more suggestions, sing out!

Thanks.
Martha
