63 quiet Belgian beach, and enjoyed a muchneeded dip in the sea and a fresh-water shower. Life truly couldn’ t get any better.
Reflections As I sat on the ferry deck, watching the sunset over the English Channel, I reflected on the whirlwind weekend. I usually don’ t repeat adventures, but this one was special. If you’ re looking for an unforgettable experience, I highly recommend stepping outside your comfort zone. Book a plane ticket, grab your board, and paddle a river, lake, or sea you’ ve always dreamed of.
Life waits for no one.
PLAN YOUR OWN BRUGES PADDLE

Travel tips: My last-minute return ferry ticket from Dover cost £ 113. Parking in Bruges for the day costs about 20 Euros, similar to the paddle fee. Consider booking a hotel or campsite in advance, as I did by sleeping in my car.
