1st September 2019
Zeebrugge is a Belgian port and seaside resort. It's linked to the city of Bruges by the Baudouin Canal. The old fish market in the marina houses Seafront, a theme park focusing on the local seafaring and fishing heritage. Exhibits include a Russian submarine. In nearby Knokke-Heist, the For Freedom Museum evokes the area’s WWII history through dioramas. West along the coast are the De Fonteintjes wetland and dunes. Coastal tram from De Panne to Knokke.
Woke this morning berthed in Zeebrugge, weather looks very promising. Started with breakfast while the excursions got away then a very short ride on the port shuttle to the port gate (a working port so no chance to walk out) then caught the tram.
Today decided we had seen Blankenberge enough times so continued to De Haan Aan Zee and had a stroll down to the seafront.
Very nice town, very well kept and very clean. Quick stop at the chocolate shop, well it is Belgium, then through the park where the bandstand was actually in use by a quite large brass and string band entertaining the crowd.
After a short stroll along the seafront and a quick stop at the gelato shop it’s back on the tram to the ship.
Time to take advantage of the sun out on the open deck with a well earned coffee. Took a break from the sun for a sandwich and a scone.
Afternoon trivia not a great result but for all those 50/50’s just chose the wrong one!
A little more sun before time for sailaway.
Tonight it’s salsa and chips for we elite passengers. Didn’t need anything else for dinner except just a little desert and a coffee.
Back to stateroom to relax with a good film.
