... You didn't mention the name of the castle. What is it called? I've
... been to Brugge a few times. For the routing Amsterdam-Antwerp-
... Brussels-Brugge, you don't need a car, and it's actually something of
... a liability: possibility of traffic jams, expensive gas, drop-off fee
... for taking it to a different country, parking hassles in bigger
... European cities, difficulty of navigating in unfamliar places with
... urban traffic, etc. Cars are best suited to going places difficult to
... get to with public transport, and you've mentioned nothing like that so
... far.
...
... So ... what castle was that, again?

I've been to Bruges three times and I'm still waiting for them to build a castle! ;)
