The most impressive part for me (and lots of other tourists) was
'Grote Markt' (
Grand Place). There were lots of
gorgeous buildings adorned with gold and there were also a lot of amazing, delicious
shop windows. It was like...
Willy Wonka street.

| Macarons in all colors (and flavors) of the rainbow! |
I
squeeled a little bit when I saw the next store... If this truly was Willy Wonka street,
this is where he would live. And I would
marry him in a heartbeat.
It also reminded me a bit of Harry Potter's
Honeydukes! The walls were
filled with all kinds of candy and colors, and there were baskets
overflowing with candy and cookies. When we came in, a lady gave us a delicious scrumptious cookie with a
soft chocolate filling to try, and I almost
died. It was delicious.
 |
| Cookies. So many cookies. |
It was a little expensive, but we just had to get
something. I decided on
a toffee with a nougat heart and
rose flavored/colored nougat. Once again, they were both
delicious.

Waffles are very famous in Belgium. You
haven't visited Belgium if you haven't had a waffle. The traditional onces are just with
powdered sugar and eaten with a
fork. These are the
crazy (expensive) touristy waffles, which we didn't get, but they sure were worth a photograph.

| Manneken Pis made out of chocolate. Interesting! |

| Yummy home made paëlla back at the hostel. |
End of part two! Did I make you hungry yet?
