Deinze to Brugge (Bruges)

A longish day, 45 km, along big busy canals.  We have got to rather enjoy the big barges and I write down their names and where we see them.  We tend to see some of then again and again;   they cover vast distances in a very short time, and it's almost like meeting old friends!

We had a barbecue for lunch, while tootling down the Ghent- Oostende canal.

We arrived at the Flandria Yacht Club at 2.30, had a decent shower (what joy!) then went by bike to the Coupure yacht haven where Lynn and Shaun are on their boat Elle.  It was great to meet up again.  They have 2 friends from Durban staying with them and we all went off to an Irish pub to watch the South Africa vs Samoa rugby match.  

That was great fun, there were a number of other South Africans also watching and we made lots of noise!  Fortunately South Africa won.
