So back to the chocolate shops. I went into one that had a cookie buffet. Seriously, there was about twenty different kinds. So I bought a few.......I thought a treat for the week. I could have one at night. I almost fainted when they said twelve euros! AI YI YI. Highway robbery but what could I do? I had to buy them. Haven't tried one yet, but they better be worth it for that price!
Grand Place is beautiful. They say to see it at night, all lit up, but I was so tired after eight hours of touring on foot, I made my way home. Maybe another night. It's not far to walk - maybe twelve or fifteen minutes - but I'm not sure how I feel walking home in the dark. We'll see. Still lots of time to see that.
What else? People are friendly. I asked for directions so many times today and everyone helped me very kindly. :). I love hearing French everywhere. But english hasn't been an issue. Except the guy at the Information Centre. LOL. WHICH IS KIND OF STRANGE, BUT IT'S OKAY. I understand enough French to know gauche et droit. I found my way just fine. :)
The area of the B&B is fine. The cab driver told me it wasn't safe, but I did my research. Everyone on trip advisor said it was fine and it is. It AI an immigrant area, but it's all families. Nothing scary. Since I live in the "HOOD" of Calgary.....it's not nearly as bad as that. Hehe. Totally fine. Although everyone warns you about pick pockets. I stuffed money and my passport into my bra. Hehe. Ok, you probably didn't need to know that. :P
Signing off for now, lovelies. Tomorrow? Well, tune in tomorrow to see what I did. I'm going on a train trip. To? Well......it's a surprise. Hehe. For me to. I know what train station I'm traveling to but that's it. You can come on the adventure with me. Hehe. Let's hope this posts.
