Brughes- The Chocolate Factory


I have the most enjoyable trip last weekend. The guyz and I went to Brughe -Belgium over the weekend. I was not particularly excited about it initially but it ended up to be one of my best trips ever.On Friday evening, after work, we hopped onto EJ's little smart car and began our journey. It took us two hours to drive to the EuroTunnel before we went through the hassle free custom and got onto the train. i was impressed about how convienient the whole process went.It then took another two hours ride before we cross the France border and then reached the Belgium Border.


Brughes is simply spectacular. After finding our way through the small little city which apparently had lots of one way streets, we finally reached our Bed and Breafast at 12 midnight. The house was so beautiful. We were greeted by a friendly couple who has furnished their house with cute paintings and little antiques. The place was a relaxing corner for the two nights stay. I would recommend this Papegeno to anyone who is going to Brughes. The owner is friendly and the rooms are excellent. I love the little secret hiding place i had in the room and looked how blissful i looked just by lying inside the cupboard

Brughes is a place for beer, and i said lots of beer. We went out to the pub after checking inI am impressed by the range theyhave and how they matched each type of beer with a designed cup. My favourite is the Bumblebee Honey beer. I am not a beer lover but this sweet beer was smooth and not bitter. Asides from that I have my fair share of the HOT CHOCOLATE!!!!!Gosh...the chocolates are heaven!I dipped them into the warm milk and they melted into a hot cup of chocolate drink.o f course, when we think of Belgium, we think of chocolates. There are tons of chocolates shops around. My gowd!!!!They have all kinds of chocolate and very pretty ones!!!I went to different shops and bought about 100g -200g each as Christmas gifts.

This city practically made me so alive!!!!!With all those little cute things , stylish fashion,interesting house furnishing, i guaranteed all boys and girls will love this mediaval town.

As you strolled along the streets, you can hear horse carriages going past you. "CLIP CLUP CLIP CLUP", it seemed to have teleported you back to the ancient times. The little canals winding around the city, the windmills and the cobbled streets added to the beauty of this place.You don't see many vehicles but lots of bicyles weaving in and out of the narrow streets. You simply have fun just even strolling on the streets. No wonder is called "The Venice of The North"Even though it rained during the days we were there, our spirits were not dampened. We spent our time indulging in food- the famous mussels and frittes,lots of waffles and chocolates.

I love Brughes. It is quaint and unique in its own way. I felt super safe too. I will give a thumbs up for this place.Is a must go if you love CHOCOLATES!!!!They have lots of "Old things " like good collection of comics, toys and laces. yes, they are famous for their laces too!!!
