Scriv Posted August 5, 2015 #27 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Barnum42 - that's interesting re the walk from the port along the beach to Blankenberg. We might consider that if the weather is nice. Blankenberg must be a bit of a different place re dogs.... we saw lots of little dogs being pushed around in doggy pushchairs/prams complete with raincover. It was quite bizarre.

Josy1953 Posted August 5, 2015 #28 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Florry's timetable says 42 mins past the hour to Bruges and 5 past the hour back, both with a 13 minute journey time. Do they speak French or Flemish in Blankenberge ps - how do you pronounce these names, is it a soft or hard 'g' ? They speak both and they also speak excellent English and German. During business visits I found that even in small towns that don't see many foreign visitors the Belgians will speak several languages and I have only had to speak to one person once in French everyone else has spoken English. I believe that languages are seen as an important part of the Belgian education system. Blankenberge is a hard g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
