Brussels:In search of chocolate.

Sad to say, I forgot to take a photo of our chocolate experience in Brussels. In my defence, i think we were all tired and footsore and just glad to take a load off.

It's not hard to figure out that Belgium is famous for it's chocolate. It's a bit hard to miss the streets of chocolate vendors. Several of the stores were running chocolate fountains which is pretty cunning because they waft out enticing scents of chocolate which are almost impossible to resist. Unfortunately for them, the prices for their chocolate were not so enticing.

Actually we had resisted the chocolate call for the whole of the 2 days we spent in Brussels and now we decided it was time to do the tourist thing. Again luck was with us, and we discovered the best chocolate store in Brussels. Only 2 mins from the beaten track. Not only did it have many specials, but any drink you ordered here came accompanied with chcolates. We must have had a plate with at least 9 handmade chocolates on them.

As much of a chocoaholic as I am, sadly I do not really have the connoisseurs palate. Lucky for me cos it means I can enjoy almost any chocolate. However due to our chocolate museum demonstration, I do now totally understand why they charge so much for hand-made chocolates.
