Bloggers meet Brussels

The weekend brought with it a 5am wake up call, lots of coffee, and a wonderful experience.

I was lucky enough to join a group of fabulous bloggers on a complimentary day trip to Brussels, on behalf of Eurostar and the 'Little Break, Big Difference' campaign.

So what did my 'little break' entail? Chocolate. Lots of chocolate.

A trip to learn about all things choco-related at Planete Chocolat.....

.... followed by a swanky lunch at famous restaurant The Belga Queen...

....walking around La Grand-Place admiring the architecture ....

.... ogling the confectionery and cuter than cute sweet shops amidst the cobbled streets ......

.... and then on to the atmospheric Christmas Market, with sparkling lanterns, mulled wine and vintage carousels.

My little break in Brussels was exactly what I needed.

Ah go on, organise your very own little Christmas break - I bet you deserve it! x
