Today we were in port at Zeebrugge.
Zeebrugge is the port or Brugge, built artificially because the original marine channel to Brugge had silted up, and the canal was built at about the same time. It is 12 km (7.5 miles) long and has a depth of 8 metres (26 feet) and a width of 125 metres (400 feet).
There wasn’t a lot to do in town and we didn’t plan any excursions. We walked to a local church and really enjoyed our visit and took a lot of pictures.
Coming back out of the church we see this to the left side. We all think we know what it was used for but we will let you think about it. 😉
War Memorial
Following the trench warfare in the poppy fields of Flanders, Belgium during World War I, poppies have become a symbol of remembrance of soldiers who have died during wartime, especially in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other Commonwealth realms.
I spied this cute sign on one of the houses. ❤️
Ahh we found a chocolate place 😋
Some of the molds
We sampled some and Belgium chocolate never disappoints.
Chilled peach soup 😋
Frog Legs
Cobb Salad
Entrees
Salmon
Jerk Pork
Braised Short ribs
Mark collects all the green vegetables nightly
Our dining room team. Ronald, who has worked for Carnival 30 years, Wayane and Robert. No better people to take care of yoj and remember all the smallest of details about what you like. ❤️
Dessert time
And one more time……
Our room steward Putu, from Indonesia, has worked for Carnival for 15 years. He made sure I always had ice 2 times a day for my water. IYKYK
It has taken us 12 days but we finally know how to use this hand dryer. I never could seem to get my hands dried. But I think I now understand. If you need to know how just ask one of us. 🤣😂

We headed back towards the ship still looking for shops but no luck. So we headed back to have lunch and pack because our trip will end tomorrow morning right after breakfast.
It was the last dinner service! We will all be lost when we get home and no one is cooking, serving and cleaning up for us. 🤣

We have a van picking us up in the morning early and they will be taking us to London for our flight home with a little sightseeing along the way.
It’s been a great trip but we all are ready to come home to our family and friends.
Thank you all for following along on our adventures. 🧳 🚢 ✈️
