A day trip in Bruges, Belgium

Bruges is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It is one of the Europe's most important landmarks as the city centre has hardly changed since the Middle Ages. Bruges is known for its lace, beers and chocolates like truffle.
I found that there is no custom check from France border to Belgium. This is quite normal if you travel within Europe countries.

Le Tour de France in London

What a luck that I can spot the Tour de France race this year. For the first time in its 100 year history, the Tour de France will be starting (Grand Depart - Stage One) from central London (Trafalgar square) and travel through south London (Bermondsey, Deptford, and Greenwich) before travelling into Kent. The route winds through the beautiful Kent countryside before the stage finish in Canterbury.
The Tour de France is the world's best-known cycling race, a three week long road race that covers a circuit of most areas around France, and sometimes neighbouring countries. The race is broken into stages from one town to another, each of which is an individual race. The time taken by cyclists to complete each stage becomes a cumulative total in order to decide the outright winner at the end of the Tour.

Time stood still for me when ......

This is the place you may consider if you would like to be in two zones and get a bit of fresh air. Greenwich park is the oldest enclosed Royal Park and home to a small herd of fallow and red deer. It is situated on top of a hill, you can enjoy sweeping views across the River Thames to St Paul's Cathedral and beyond. The park is part of the Greenwich World Heritage Site, host to the Prime Meridian Line and the old Royal Observatory. There are several historic buildings nearby including the Royal Naval College, the National Maritime Museum and the Queen's House.
Greeenwich Mean Time (GMT) is a term originally referring to mean solar time at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich in England. It is now often used to refer to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or when this is viewed as a time zone.
