In the last half of the 19th century, Brugge became one of the world's first tourist destinations attracting wealthy British and French tourists. 

Brugges received its city charter on July 27th 1128 and new walls and canals were built. Since about 1050 gradual silting had caused the city to lose its direct access to the sea. A storm in 1134 however re-established this access, through the creation of a natural channel at the Zwim. The new sea arm stretched all the way to Damme, a city that became the commercial outpost for Brugge. 

The chocolate below caused a jam from people taking a photograph.

I wonder why?????
