A love of chocolate

I suppose it may be a little obvious to anyone who has read a few of my posts but I really do love chocolate and Europe is a great place to indulge. Our first stop after France was Bruges in Belgium which convienently had a chocolate museum, a great place to start exploring the town! While we enjoyed the beautiful Belgium chocolate and the demonstration on how they were made, we found the most interesting museum to be the large sculptures made from chocolate, especially the large series of cats that were made from the same basic mould but then decorated differently, they had napoleon, dracular, mosaic covered, Egyptian styles cats and many more.

We also have stopped in at many chocolatiers to taste the local goods, with perhaps our favorite so far been from Berlin in Germany where we got peppercorn and saffron dark chocolate! But of course I will continue the difficult task researching some of the best chocolates in Europe . . . .
