Hi All! I know there are a few questions about NYE in Brugge already but I haven't found any that answer my question.. Essentially, my husband and I (both mid 30s from London originally from US) are looking for a fun place to ring in the new year in Brugge. We don't need a club or dancing and we don't need a big fancy set meal. I'm vegetarian so most of the set meals don't look appealing anyway... Any advice for a fun bar or pub where we can just drink, eat and hang out for the evening? Would really appreciate it!

My son has to travel by train from Paris to a hotel in Kemmel. What would be the quickest & safest way of doing this please? We have been advised that a solution would be via Brussels to Ypres then a taxi from there, but it takes about 3.5 hours. We were wondering about a train to Lille then a taxi from there. Any help please regarding route and/or reliable taxi services from either Ypres or Lille and approximate costs would be appreciated. He is too young to drive.

Hi, We-and our 10 year old- will be coming from Brussels to Bruges on Easter Monday. I have read many great reports about a guided bike tour in the morning. Do you think I will have enough time in one day to do the bike tour in the morning, and then climb the belfry, take a boat tour and see the Holy Blood and Madonna sculpture in the afternoon? Or am I trying to do too much (which I am famous for?) :) Also thinking about the crowds on Easter Monday-if it would be better to do our own thing in the morning, and maybe rent bikes for the afternoon. We are active and like to see/do things that are unique to a particular place. Not too interested in the art museums for example.

I will be in Brugge this Chrisatmas Eve and trying to find a moderate priced restaurant that will be open that evening.

Last year I holidayed in Oostende and one day from the coastal tram I caught sight of the HMS Vindictive memorial. I wanted to photograph this but was unable to find how to get there. When I got home I located it on Google. I shall be in Oostende for a short period of time in a couple of weeks and would like to photograph it then. At the railway station halt on the tramway, the tram heading towards Knokke goes up a hill with what looks to be a pedestrian walkway at the side. Is this correct (is it permitted to walk up the slope?). Also as I am interested in railways, is it possible to view any locomotives from the top of this slope? Thank you for any help you can give. John
