| The mound commemorating the Battle of Waterloo. The English lion on top. |
We visited Waterloo in Belgium where Wellington beat Napoleon's army. We climbed the mound which is very high and you can look out over the battlefield. There is also a waxworks museum and a panorama painting there. The farmhouse that Napoleon used in the battle is still there but we didn't go in as someone lives there.

We visited Bruges for a couple of days. Bruges is a world heritage city. It is Medievel. It has lots of canals and it is very expensive. There is not much for kids to do there.
We visited the Museum of chocolate and saw the history of chocolate and how it is made and then we watched a demonstration of them making some chocolates and got to try some (but we didn't really like them because they were pralines).
We visited the Historium where we saw the story of one of Jan Van Eyk's most famous paintings. You follow the story from room to room and it takes you through historical Bruges.
Bruges was very pretty and also very expensive.
