Thank you for this! I've just booked the overnight return for £17 for next week. Very happy as it's half term and includes a bottle of wine! I'm being brave and driving up to Bruges for the night. I have no experience of driving further than cite Europe so I hope I'll be ok.

It's a long straight road all the way from Calais to Bruges, not too busy and all very clearly marked as you exit the port, you can't go wrong. Enjoy!

Either that or he was working his way through the six free bottles.

That's true...I went to Bruges a couple of years back and it was fab, shame the strong gales on the the crossing meaning delays but still a good day had :j

I must get over but depends if I'm allowed the day off I want.

Glad you got a bargain and as PP says it is one long road, the A16/E40, toll free all the way. The only slightly tricky bit is getting on to the A16 near the port. On the exit road from the port you won't see any signs for Brugges, as the French call it, so you need to follow the signs for Dunkerque/Lille to join the A16. Once on the A16 Bruxelles (Brussels) appears on the signs and later on Brugge will show too.

Have a great trip.

Thanks. I have no idea if I'll find the hotel once in Bruges but I'm sure I'll manage eventually!
