Small Bar of Belgian Chocolate

Now I like chocolate. I had been told that in Belgium I could get really large bars of chocolate. So I was really looking forward to getting a huge amount of chocolate. I'm so disappointed, this is the largest bar I could find - it's tiny! I flew up and down the streets of Bruges looking for a huge bar of lovely chocolate and this was the largest I could find. It's only four times bigger than me. It was very nice though.

Pigs in Bruges

I met a couple of happy pigs in Bruges. They were always smiling. It was great fun wandering around Bruges with these two. The added benefit was I could eat them when I got bored with them. They were made from chocolate. Though I didn't know that until I bit one.

Beer With a Wooden Handle

I found a nice bar in Bruges. It has a huge selection of beers. I did try a few, just a taste of each of course. They are often strong and sometimes very strong and each comes in a different type of glass. Some beers are brewed by monks others are made by small breweries that have been going for a very long time. This beer is a bit different. I chose it because I thought it was brewed by ducks, but it isn't. Kwak isn't to do with ducks, apparently its named after a pub owner. The glass for this one has a rounded bottom so has to sit in a wooden stand with a handle. It was a bit difficult to drink from as it has that big bulb full of beer at the bottom and it can come rushing out at you. So I settled for sitting on the edge of the glass and lapping it up with my tongue, dragons have very long tongues. It was nice.

Windmills in Bruges

Finding lots to do in Bruges. To the east are four windmills. They are on top of an embankment by the canal. One of the old city gates is nearby. There used to be over twenty windmills around Bruges. Two of the windmills open to the public at certain times, they weren't open when I was there - not even for dragons! The four left are different colours. I thought I'd have my photograph taken with this one. I like red.

Dragons in Bruges

There are quite a lot of dragons around Bruges. They are a bit strange, they aren't red! Here is an enterprising pair. They carry a bench between them and offer rides over Bruges. I had a short trip them, dragons don't pay. It was quite nice to get a view without using my own wings. They are quite slim for dragons so must get lots of exercise flying bench loads of people around.

Dinner Time

There's lots of good places to eat and drink in Bruges. This a nice comfy bar with table service and lots of nice drink to choose from. So I can sit in a big comfy chair, look through the menu and wine list and rest my wings. I would put my feet up but my legs are too short for this chair. After this refreshment break I'll continue my tour.

Humprey Bogart in Bruges

I bumped into Humphrey Bogart and his pet chicken in a back street. Must be a very tame chicken as it wasn't on a lead. We had a nice long chat about his films. I suggested a remake of 'The Maltese Falcon'. It would be re-named as 'The Welsh Dragon' and I would play the lead role. He didn't seem that keen on it for some reason.
