The British Pound was a lot higher then. Don't do anything naughty that I won't, Guan. Hey Andy Pandy,

Perhapes we should have included Belgium in our Europe Trip when we had the chance. The British Pound was a lot higher then.

Don’t do anything naughty that I won’t,

Ypres was, but then that is also full of tourists. Thanks for the recommendation for the chocolate place. Next time! I don’t know if the rest of Belgium is also so expensive.

I have not been to Brugge for a long time but I suppose the prices takes into account the many tourists. If you like belgian chocolate, I would definitively recommend this one: http://www.galler.com/index.php I do not like all their chocolates but their blended tablets are marvelous (Disclaimer, I have no link to this company) I like to read when people like my country.

Try being Canadian, we have had the weakest dollar for years. We are so excited to finally be almost to par with the Americans:) Truthfully, that is why we have been avoiding Europe for the past few years, I wish we could afford it. This is the second post I have read today about Belgiums chocolate and frites. I am getting very hungry! Excellent and entertaining writing as usual. Thanks! Haha, I love that currency remark.

It's so close from the UK too! Just over an hour's drive from Calais, so taking the car over is an easy option. Guess it's quieter in the winter? Happy travels too!

Maybe I need to figure out when it's less popular to visit and head back. Great post title too by the way. Happy travels!
