CB500X - Solo Norway trip Part 38 - Off to Bruges

This is Part 38 of my trip continuing the journey on my way to Bruges. After a night of heavy rain and some sort of heavy metal rock concert blaring across the fields for much of the night I packed up and set off to Bruges, where I had already booked a campsite for 2 nights, within walking distance of the old town. I crossed into Belgium at some point but didn't notice where or when until I saw the majority of cars had Belgian registration plates. It was an overcast day with a few showers along the way but nothing too bad. I passed through Antwerp before reaching Bruges where I spent 2 nights, giving me the opportunity to have a walk around the city on my "day off". Stick around to the end for a walk-around Bruges.

The whole journey took me through the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and into Norway right the way up to Nordkapp, the furthest point you can travel by motorcycle or car in mainland Europe and then back through Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Belgium and France over a 7 week period late May - mid July 2023
I am back in the UK now, but please do add your comments and I'll get back to you.

Choice of background music? I use the library provided by my editing software Cyberlink PowerDirector which is meant to copyright approved, but it is being challenged by the copyright owner, so my choice of music, which was always a bit limited is even more so now. Ho hum!

Hoping you can "Like" the video, as this does help the channel.

All my best wishes, thanks again for watching
