Brielle in Europe-May 18

Date: Monday, May 18

Location: Netherlands, Belgium

"First, we went to Bruges.  Bruges has very yummy chocolate.  We saw how they make chocolate.  Next, we got lunch.  We got Belgian fries and we also got Belgian waffles.  Then, we went to a cathedral.  The famous Madonna by Michael Angelo is here.  The Monuments Men from W.W.II found it.  After that, we went to the Delta Works.  At the Delta Works you could learn about the different kind of Djikes.  Gavin and I went on a waterslide while it was raining."

We went to to Bruge and we saw fake cocao beans.  They were about 1 foot long and had tiny seeds inside of them.  

We saw how they made chocolate at a factory.  He spoke English.  He pulled out pans with already made chocolate so he didn't have to make it, but told us about it.

We had yummy Belgium waffles with chocolate, fudge, whipped cream and chocolate stuffed inside. 

We had Belgium Fries with andolaise sauce.  The Belgium fries taste like normal fries, but the andolaise sauce is like fry sauce except spicier and really good.

 

We got two larges which were about 6x6 inches and that filled up everybodys tummy.  We had the Belgium waffles after for dessert, since the andolaise sauce is healthy.  The fries are not healthy.

Then we went to the cathedral and we saw the Madonna by Michael Angelo at the Cathedral.  

We went to the Delta Works where they had a lot of different kinds of dams and a water park.  

There was a waterslide where we sat on a raft and we went down.  It was really fun.  Since the bottom of the raft was wet, we slide on the raft that was there and it looked like we were going to crash into the fence.

We did a leaf race through the squiggly river and then we opened the dam so it could go into the big river that went into the whole deltaworks.

We went quickly through the park because the Deltaworks was about to close.  We had fun going on the rope bridge and then there was a ladder that went up to a really long and twisty twirly slide.

We took a picture through the canal in the Netherlands.  It had a lot of swans and ducks swimming in it.

We ate dinner and I tried a new pizza with tomatoes, tomato sauce, cheese, a little bit of olives, pepperonie and little pieces of chopped up squid.  It was a little bit good but not my favorite.

We slept on the boat again.
