Thank you so much for posting this. Although I will not be going to Brugge on the cruise this summer, my family was there four summers ago--your walking tour, the very detailed notes and gorgeous pictures, brought back many memories of a beautiful city. Is the Farmers' Market still occurring in the Central Plaza on Wednesdays? If anyone is wondering if they should take a shore excursion to Brugge, I can't recommend the city highly enough!!!

I am taking an Alaskan cruise this summer and thought that Scopolamine would be good until I had an episode of "benign idiopathic vertigo" (aka you're dizzy as hell and we have no clue as to why!!!). The doctor in the ER gave me a Scopolalamine patch and told me to wear it for three days. No mention of any of the side effects! Needless to say I had just about every awful side effect, including more dizziness, crushing headaches and plummeting blood pressure. It took a return trip to the ER and a CT scan to find out that it was just a BAD reaction to Scopolamine, not a subdural hemotoma.

Needless to say, I will NOT be using it during my cruise, or ever again.

Moral of the story--if you are going to use Scolopamine be aware of the side effects and monitor how you are feeling.
