Hot Spots
Belgium isn't exactly teeming with dinosaurs. Apart from their species of Iguanodon, which was recently nominated to carry the family name because of its superior fossils, there isn't a lot to write home about, despite various embaressing misidentifications. Belgian chocolate, on the other hand, is tops. Chocolate and beer. And tapestry. Rumour has its 'La Maison du Chocolat Artisanalis' is quite nice.
