Belgium

In Belgium we stayed in a town called Bruges. In Bruges me, Mum and Eden climbed 366 steps to a bell tower and while we were up there the bells chimed. It works like one of the little wind-up music boxes. In Bruges we also went on a boring canal tourist boat ride, I didn't think it was very interetsting, the only fun part was when I touched the water and the underneath of one of the bridges. We stayed in a big, cool three storey house with very, very steep steps. On one of the last days we went to a chocolate museum and in the museum I learned that people used to use cocoa beans as currency. You could get a rabbit for 10 cocoa beans and a servant for 100. Belgium is famous for their beer, waffles and chocolate. I got to try lots of weird flavours of chocolate like earl grey tea and basil.
