Creator's Key Takeaways

We paid, you can see from our train ticket, $7.80 80 uh one way to get to the city and of course we needed to pay it back.

We tried to buy them that day and they were already sold out and that was one of the first things we tried to do.

So, chocolate is happiness.

You can save yourself a lot of money by doing it on your own.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Always overestimate your time and aim to return to the ship at least an hour early.
✓Try Belgian chocolate, fries with sauce, and both Brussels and Liège style waffles.
