Belgian Battlefields
Monday Dec 3 Another day in and about the battlefields of Belgium. Weather was generally poor - at times the car warned it was 3° and to be aware of 'black ice'. There was mizzle, drizzle or light rain all day. Not much fun for getting in and out of the car as we completed our battlefield car tour begun yesterday. We also encountered a number of 'closed on Mondays' situations eg. Hooge Crater Museum, our very nice bakery on the way to the car park and quite a few cafes and ...
Chocolate and waffles and beer - oh my!
... enjoying. Next on our Brussels to-do list was chocolate. The Belgians are famous for their chocolate, of course, and there are so many different ones. So how to choose? Don't worry - we did the leg-work for you (mouth-work?). We sampled chocolaty delights from the city's four supposedly best shops: Godiva, Neuhaus, Galler and Leonidas. My verdict?

Drinking beer is elevated to the status of art form here. A special glass is required for every single beer, resulting in vast ...
Still In F*@%ing Bruges
We started our day with a hearty breakfast at our hostel which included muesli which we were all very excited about. After fuelling our bodies we set out to explore Bruges heading first to the Brug Square. The buildings in this square have wonderful facades covered with sculptures and gold. One of these is the Church of the Holy Blood which is a very old church that claims to have a vile of Jesus' congealed blood. We all were eager to see ...
