The great debate- waffles or chocolate…what is better in Belgium?

We tested multiple of both to see if we could find that answer today. We started our day with waffles, naturally.

Then we walked around the town some more to enjoy the beautiful architecture and scenery.

Had to take in some original wind mills too, of course. Zoom in and notice little David in the foreground. It was supposed to be open, but apparently was not.

We took a chocolate tour to learn about the history of chocolate- from the bitter drink drank by Aztecs to the introduction of sugar and industrial manufacturing of chocolate introduced by Europeans.

We then went to the Church of Our Lady, mostly to see the Michelangelo statue, Madonna and Child.

After taking a short break it was time to climb to the top of Belfort tower.

Here’s the view from the top, and we stayed to watch/listen to the bells ring. Then time to climb back down all 366 stairs. We stayed at the top to hear the bells, but it began to rain.

Then we finished our evening off with- you guessed it- waffles- but topped with ice cream- so they were in dessert form.
