Ieper is Finally Quiet
This morning was our last day in Brugge. After a breakfast of eggs bread and coffee we said goodbye to Jaak and Marie Rose. We packed our bags and headed to the train station. We are traveling to Ieper, with a change in Korijk. We arrived in Ieper at 11:20 and quickly made our way to the bed and breakfast. The map I found on the internet worked …
Belgian Battlefields
... dark by now (5.30pm) - Cheryl more than annoyed that I pulled over and went for a quick walk in the dark through the road end of the cemetery.

Clear skies outside but not quite as cold as last night. ...

We drove back to Bruges after an interesting but quite emotionally draining day. I for one felt shattered and Kate's lilting head and closed eyes on the majority of the trip back confirmed she was a bit gone too.
Not to be forgotton.
