Calais to Bruges

Hi,

Im thinking of driving from Eurotunnel to Bruges on sat 8th Dec as its my
birthday on the 9th.

Can you please tell me if its a good trip to make or if its likely to be
busy or tiring. If so Id rather spend the extra £100 for us to go on
eurostar.

Thanks,

Dave

Go to Google Maps and click on "Get Directions" Type in "Calais, Eurotunnel"
in the from box, and "Brugge" in the to box, and then click on "Get
Directions"
Google will then show you the road to travel. It shows that nearly the whole
of the trip is on a motorway and the distance is only 120km, which you
should be able to do in 90 minutes.

Have a good trip.

About 90 minutes, motorway all the way. Not particularly attractive, very
industrial on the French side of the border. Some intersting WW1 history in
Flanders.

go on the eurostar if you are celebrating, it will save fuel and parking
costs and possibly your licence

No not tiring at all, go for it !

We usually do the Dover - Calais ferry crossing and then drive from Calais
to Ostend and that usually takes about an hour. I know you say Bruges but,
if you happen to get to Ostend, the Hotel Marion
(http://www.hotelmarion.be/engels/hotel%20marion.htm) and its associated bar
(the Cafe Botteltje) are highly recommended. The bar has over 300 beers and
about 40 Jenevers (gin-based drinks - the caramel and the lemoncello are
superb).
