The two chocolatiers

We started the day slowly this morning with tea and coffee in the nice common area of our hostel. Now that it's getting nice and chilly, we decided it was time to clear some space in our bags and send some of our warm weather clothes back home. We put the plan into action, only to find out that today is a public holiday and the post office is closed -- oops!

With that postponed until tomorrow, we decided to go for a walk and happened to stumble across a nice looking hot chocolate place. The two of us decided it was in our best interest to try it... And we were right, very nice!

Next up was a chocolate tour which we had booked (don't worry, we left space after the hot drink!) It was quite interesting, probably more engaging than the one at Lindt. 1 point to Belgian chocolate over Swiss.

Once we were full of chocolate and knowledge we then went for a walk around the town to stumble across various sights, including the Royal Palace, Parc de Bruxelles, the Cathedral of Saint Michael, the Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert, and another very important statue in Brussels: The peeing dog!

As we haven't been feeling our best today (unrelated to the chocolate, we swear!) The next decision we made was to go back to the hostel and rest with some light planning.

Once it reached the evening, the two of us went to find something affordable to have for dinner which ended up being the tried and tested bread and soup combo! Still a winner.
