Frites and Mussles

---

The land of beer, fries, mussles, waffles and chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! I have indulged. Stayed in Brugge which was such a quaint little town. The next morning we went to Brussels for the day. A lot of people told me that there wasn’t much to see but I have to disagree. It was exactly the weekend I needed, away from hectic London and tourists. I did all the proper sight seeing. And of course, plentiful of eating and drinking beer. Cherry and raspberry flavoured. Mmmm….

Before heading back to England we stopped at some world war memorial sites. It was pretty surreal to visit the actual trenches and battle fields. The trip definitely has given me the travel bug again. I plan on heading to Cornwall next weekend to get some sun!!

LAKE OF LOVE
With all the chocolate Belgium has to offer I definitely fell in love.

THE BEST HOT CHOCOLATE
Dipping the chocolate on a stick in the hot milk and a touch of Grand Marnier warmed me after walking around in the rain. Sadly the cafe closed and we had no choice but to face the miserable cold all over again.

CHERRY BEER
Fit for a gal like myself.

MADE A FABULOUS MESS OUT OF THIS
After walking around Brussels all day I was absolutely famished until we found this waffle (at a price, 9Euros).

TYNE COT CEMETARY
The largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the world in terms of burials.

YPRES/ HILL 62
Original British trenches in a small section of the wood have been preserved as they were found after the war. In the 1980s a tunnel was discovered.
