🚢✨ After a couple of glorious days in London we headed to Southampton to board the cruise… and let me tell you, it was definitely a plot twist! 😅
Just as we were ready to roll, our transfer bus 🚍 decided it needed a little “vacation” of its own and broke down right there at the hotel. 🙃 That meant we left an hour late and didn’t roll into the port until 1.5 hours later ⏰. Not exactly the smooth sail-off I had pictured in my head!
But let me brag on this group for a second 👏👏… they were SO patient, calm, and just went with the flow 🧘♀️🧘♂️. Meanwhile, I was practicing my best poker face 😬 and secretly plotting Plan B, C, and D to make sure we got to the ship on time! (Spoiler: we did! ✅).
Now, Southampton’s port isn’t exactly the stuff postcards are made of 🏭😂… so let’s skip to the real star ⭐… Bruges! 🇧🇪
Bruges is just pure magic ✨ — canals that look like they belong in a painting 🎨, flowers bursting with color 🌷, dreamy towers 🏰, and charming bridges 🌉. This was my second time here and honestly… it’s one of those places that never stops feeling like a treat 🍫💕
