Day 22 - Brugge, Belgium
We went to Brugge today. It was a little over 2 hours on the trains. We didn't have much time but it was worth it. Brugge is a very beautiful, charming city. One of our tour books refer it as a "little Venice". For lunch the kids had Belgium waffles while we drank the Belgium beer. Afterwards, we took a horse & carriage tour. We all enjoyed it because it showed us all of the historical sites. Jackson thought the horse smelled too much. We spent a long time at the chocolate museum, Choco Story. The kids learned the entire process of making chocolate from cocoa beans. At the end, there was a demonstration & tasting. The most amazing thing at the museum was a solid chocolate statue of President Obama. Afterwards we did some shopping. There wasn't much time. We had dinner on the train; it was a Thalys train.
