"Neuhaus, what is that?" you may be asking... well it's the land of the chocolate, which is fitting since we went to Brussels, Belgium. On the bus ride over we met this really nice girl who told us about this chocolate outlet for Neuhaus with unlimited samples, so of course that was the first thing that we went to the next morning! Getting there was a bit of an adventure, seeing as it was on the edge of the city, but we ate lots of Belgium chocolate for free and got deals on the chocolate that we did buy! We then spent the day roaming the streets. We found lots of parks, old buildings and churches! We ate Belgium fries at Grand Place, which is this gorgeous city square with lots of old buildings, and managed to find the peeing baby statue! It's a weird statue, but it's the famous tourist attraction you have to go to in Brussels due to all of the legends behind it. The most popular legend is that a sculptor lost his son, and after days of searching for him swore that he would make a statue commemorating how he found him... We ended the day by braving this crowded food street with a friend we made in the hostel, Justin, and people watching the Brussels night life!
