So Much Chocolate!! *Travel Day* | Day 27 - Brussels to Amsterdam | #BLEH2017
Our last day in Brussels is filled with chocolate - literally. We visit Atomium and take a train to Amsterdam in the evening :)
For our grad trip we took a 30 day trip to Europe - we drove around all of Iceland in 8 days and then went on to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, and finally, The Netherlands. This was one of the coolest trips I've ever taken - here's my documentation of the trip! Hope you enjoy. xo
P.S. #BLEH2017 stands for Beverly, Leah, Emily, Hilary ;)

Chocolàtl Amsterdam
I found this terrific fine chocolate shop while visiting Amsterdam. Chocolatl has a fantastic selection and the proprietor, Adil, has a vast knowledge bean to bar chocolate. They serve coffee, tea, and drinking chocolate shots (great on a cold day) and have a table large enough to spread out your chocolate bars for decision making and tasting. While visiting the shop I met chocolate maker and confectioner Alexandre from Chocolaterie Atelier Alexandre as he was dropping off a new shipment of truffles. I'm looking forward to going back!

Chocolatl
CHOCOLATL is a gourmet chocolate shop located in the Joordan neighborhood in Amsterdam. It is definitely worth the visit if you're ever in Amsterdam, not only to sample the many delectable chocolates from around the world but also to grab a hot cup of chocolate in a very stylish and inviting store.
Urban Cacao Amsterdam
via YouTube Capture I visited this shop while in Amsterdam. This shop is geared toward those who like sweet chocolate and trendy inclusion/additions to their chocolate (the Van Gogh bar with mint and lavendar). They sell confections and have a very large selection of bars sporting everything from mint to raspberry to lavender which I find quite unusual for a bean to bar maker. Their graphics show cacao beans drying, empty bags of cacao are positioned as props, and I was told by the employees that this is a bean to bar operation, I only saw tempering machines and equipment for making confections at this location. Before I go next time I'll request a tour of their bean to bar facility. The drinking chocolate was sweet and frothed in a high powered blender (I do love chocolate foam).
Monskin + Chocolatl
In collaboration with Amsterdam's number one chocolate store, Chocoltatl, Monskin and Reluct created Choco Nebula: a cloud of chocolate. The fragrance is extracted from one the single estate chocolate bars available at Chocolatl. A custom designed nebuliser evaporates chocolate particles in a cloud of supercharged chocolate fragrance.
Stop by the store at Hazenstraat 25a in Amsterdam and try it for yourself.
