Tell us the story behind your photo:
While on our Silver Qualifying Journey in Bruges, Belgium, we stumbled upon this little-known monument. We were certainly surprised to find that King Charles II of England had stayed in this house with his brother James, Duke of York and Duke of Gloucester until the restoration of the monarchy. We couldn’t help smiling and agreeing with him when we read what he had to say about the locals: “The Flemings are the most honest and true-hearted people I have ever met with. Indeed, we were pleasantly surprised by the number of passers-by who stopped us along our way to check on us and make sure that we were alright.
