Ypres.
A good way to travel to Belgium is by ferry from Dover to Calais. As the ferry is quiet and a short time. It is also a good way because you can muck around with your pals, you are traveling with. But one bad thing is that the car journey is about five hours, all together. A good hotel to stay in is poppies hotel, as it is slap, bang in the middle.
But Ypres is not just a place for chocolate, it's also, quite a sad place as it has many graves, fulled of dead bodies. The most famous grave we went to was Tynecot, it has over 45,000 graves. But at the back it had over 50,000 lost bodies, so just names. But there are lots of other graves around the place. But when you are at the grave , you have to be quiet as locals visit often, to see family, or relative. But if you are not into the sad stuff, then you could go to the trenches in century wood, you know those trenches are so cool, as they have just been in for a refurbishing. But very muddy, so I recommend boots not smart shoes, as they would become very muddy. There are many restaurants, but I recommend Utopia, a it's food is good quality and comes fast. If your like me and love chocolate then you are in for a treat, because Ypres has more chocolate shops then other shops.
