For Six Word Saturday
Last Sunday, I crossed the English Channel and spent the day at the Brugge Christmas Market. The main attraction for me however, was what Belgium is famous for - moulles frites, chocolate and a choice of 360 or so different beers!
This first picture is the bottom corner of a six-foot tall chocolate Christmas tree in a chocolatier's shop window. I would have bought it, but it might have been a bit difficult to get home!

Beautiful photos oh my all that chocolate heheh!
ReplyDeleteHave a tanfastic week :-)
Cheers matey. I have never seen so many chocolate shops in one place - all chucking samples at you!
DeleteFantastic photos! For some reason, I keep being drawn to the first one ;-)
ReplyDeleteMe too Annalisa which is why it was the first one I posted. It has to be the ultimate Christmas tree - 6 feet of chocky heaven!
DeleteI want to go. ~pout~ Lovely photos! You have an excellent eye.
ReplyDeleteDarla, it is a beautifully photogenic place any time of the year. It's known as the Venice of the North because of its canals - another subject for another day trip!
DeleteThe Venice of the North? I have been wanting to go there for 15 years! Great pics!
ReplyDeleteMitch
I didn't have time to photograph the canals this tip - too busy eating chocolate!
DeleteWhat cool pics. Makes me really want to travel.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful city and for me its just a short boat trip away.
DeleteYes.. your chocolate pic is making me really hungry now hahaha
ReplyDelete...you should have sen the real thing!
DeleteThat chocolate looks so good! I've never been to Europe. I bet it was beautiful! Thanks for stopping by the Talbert Zoo. Have a great week and Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLiving on the UK coast just a few miles across the water from France, Europe is easily accessible for me. Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteI love the nativity scene, its so colorful!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it. Thanks Karen
DeleteOne of my favorite towns/cities in all the world! I haven't been there at Christmas, though.
ReplyDeleteIt's also famous as the lace capital of the world of course. It certainly is very special.
DeleteOh Belgium looks beautiful (and delicious)! Not sure I would have let the difficulty carrying the chocolate home bother me. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is.
DeleteLovely pictures. Looks like a wonderful place to visit.
ReplyDeletenum num num, that tree sounds very good, and very bad. Would love to see it in person.
It really was beautiful
DeleteSilly! You don't have to worry about bringing the huge chocolate Christmas tree home...you eat it there!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Wordless Wednesday!
It was tempting!
DeleteWas it too difficult to get home because of size, or because you would have taken too many bites of it.
ReplyDeleteThinking about it, if I'd eaten half before I left, I might just have got it the car!
DeleteChocolates and Mussels, alive, alive-o
ReplyDeleteAll together now......!
DeleteI went to Brussels a few years ago. Would love to go back for the Christmas markets! Thanks for linking up! x
ReplyDeleteIt was magical!
DeleteI love Bruges - chocolate,lace and canals. You could have bought the choccy tree and eaten all the bits that were awkward to pack.
ReplyDeleteNow why didn't I think of that?!!
DeleteAnd a good time was had by all! :) I'm rather partial to Florentines too.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was!
DeleteJ.E.A.L.O.U.S!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! It was a bit special Ron!
DeleteWhat a fantastic market! I must try a Florentine!
ReplyDeleteI love them!
DeleteIt looks like a wonderful place and an enjoyable trip.
ReplyDeleteIt is and it was!
