YouTube Video Description

Queen Mary 2 reaches a rainy Zeebrugge for the trip to Bruges. Despite the rain, we tried all the Belgian favourites, chocolate and waffles but it was still a bit early for string beer. Also, we climb the famous bell tower in the heart of historic Bruges before returning to QM2 for the evening Cunard Gala Night. It was then a day at sea as we cruised back to Southampton and on the way, Mel gets to try the famous Cunard Queen Mary afternoon tea.
