BELGIUM UPDATE 2

Hello from Blankenberge. 🙂

Last night we enjoyed a tasty dinner of soup followed by pork, potatoes and vegetables then finished with ice cream. We then headed down to the beach where we had loads of fun, sand everywhere! 🙂 Our final adventure of the day was to visit the waffle stand or frites shop. 37 pupils chose waffle stand and only 5 went for frites…I wonder what the split will be tonight! We all slept like logs and caught up on our missed sleep from the previous night.

We’re just back from a lovely day out in Brugge. The weather has been a little bit rainy but surprisingly warm. Breakfast was a selection of cereals and rolls with jam or chocolate spread, all washed down with tea and coffee.

Then we headed on the bus to Roose’s Chocolate World where we learned how chocolate is made before doing lots of sampling (just to test our learning! 😉 ) We spent some of our money on presents for our loved ones back home then headed off to the local park for some fresh air and a run around. After lunch we headed in to Brugge town centre and visited the Beguinage nunnery, the Market Square and we took a ride on a canal boat.

Right now we are frantically cleaning our rooms for room inspection before we head for dinner and then to the beach for more fun. More from us tomorrow! 🙂
