Don't Give a Damme
Just outside Brugge is the small historic town of Damme. Mike
and I made the scenic ride there on his scooter which was
quite a rush. (I want a scooter when I get back the the states!)
When the river Zwin silted, the town of Damme became the port
of Brugge. When it silted up again, Damme fell and has since been
replaced by Antwerp.
The most famous part of the town is Damme
Church which is about three times taller that anything else
in town. Views from the top: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
The Damme
Hall is also a historic building. Bottom right door opens
to an ATM in a room with a 5.5 foot celing... for the tourists
not the locals.
Mike stopped fishing in Damme because the majority of tourists
would ask if he had caught anything.
I was staying with Mike Verstraete and his family
(Mike, Selene, Franky, Miebe, & Max) for one night before
heading off to PukkelPOP)
Wanna comment?
