Bruges, Capital of chocolate 🍫

Today is a guided tour of 2 towns in Flanders, North West of Brussels.
Here they speak Flemish, a dialect of Dutch.
Renowned for their mediaeval buildings. Very pretty.
Bruges is a 9th century city, the capital of chocolate 🍫 apparently, while Ghent is the capital of beer 🍻.
I watched a movie last night "In "Bruges", Irish movie, very politically incorrect. Recommended by a friend.
Pretty funny and good scenes of Bruges, including the Bell Tower we visited. Felt weird actually, walking on the spot a character landed after falling off the top.

Chocolate was originally a liquid. I didn't catch how they discovered it could become a solid. Chocolate is made by factories but many families are artisan chocolatiers and sell their own.Les mer
