Chocolatiers, Biscuitiers, Beer & Diamonds- ahhh Belgium

I went to Belgium and had the opportunity to visit Brussels, Antwerp, and yes the beautiful city of Brugge. Belgium was extremely interesting - in Brussels there is a large mixture of people however the most predominant language is French, this of course changes as I traveled from place to place. Antwerp- which means throwing hands is known as the diamond capital of Belgium. The city has a diamond district, street, lane , and do much more. From a tourist standpoint there was not much to do in that town other than admire the bright shining gems from countries in which the people who mined them hardly see close to any of the real profit. The final city was Brugge- a wonderland in its own right. A city stuck in time, filled with Choclatiers, cobble stone roads, beautiful churches and so much more. I highly recommend staying in Brugge when visiting Belgium- it would be a shame not to as pictures do it no justice...
