This is about driving. Great between cities, difficult within. In Bruges, there was a convenient, secure underground parking lot with the entrance right in front of our hotel. (By the way, our hotel was 't Zand - eurostark inside (lots of white and steel) but very comfortable with a great location.) We left the car in the garage for three days! When we were leaving today, we had to get ourselves turned around right after we left the parking garage. Now Bruges has these cool bicycle-only lanes all over the place, including having there own stoplights with little bicycles on the lights! Our illustrious bike-riding Seattle mayor would love it.
So when we went got turned around and ready to head back on the road in the right direction, we thought we were getting into a right-turn lane, but it was the bicycle lane! There were two women on the street who spoke no English - only Flemish - who thought this was hilarious! The other car drivers on the road were very understanding and let Larry back up and get into the car lane.
