i should've known that the mister would want to maximise every minute of our very brief weekend trip to bruges. he'd booked the very last eurotunnel passage back to ol' blighty and that gave us a good few hours to mosey around the north of france. thankfully got a late check out from our cute little hotel and took the scenic, coastal road back to and through france. we passed the sweetest little towns like wissant, audinghen, audresselles and ambleteuse. we even did the touristy thing and stopped at cap blanco to see where the germans had place their cannons during WWII, because captain husband is a closet military history buff. admiring german guns aside, we took a long walk along the beach and stumbled upon a quaint little seafood shack. the boss lady's husband takes their tiny fishing boat out every morning, and they sell what he catches the rest of the day. she didn't speak a word of english, so thank goodness for the month of french i took before going to stockholm (yeah, that doesn't make sense to me either...) and voila! dinner was served :)
oh and a photo of the M4(?) at dusk, for good measure and to show our ancient set of third hand wheels were roadworthy. phew!
