The Somme
This is a top pick! ... always, so I decided to keep living the David way of life. So armed with the knowledge that I had a spot booked on a train to Calais, we quickly put a trip together. We decided to double the fun, so we grabbed Ed and Lucia of Zento fame, Euro here we ...
France
This is a top pick! ... drive slowly (not for the reasons of the old car and its ability but because we wanted to meet up with friends etc )through France, into Spain and then do some serious house hunting. 'House' being the operative word, as chances are we would be looking ...
Touring the Battlefields
... is much cheaper in Belgium than it is in France. For diesel EUR1.08 in Belgium compared to about EUR1.22 in France. First destination was the Ploegsteert Wood area which I managed to find without too much difficulty. The area saw fighting virtually right ...
Happy Boxing Day!
... fine if you don't have them in your car. So we were off. The ferry ride over was great. We took Sea France and the boat was very nice. On board there was two restaurants, two bars, lots of video games and gambling machines, a ...
Every story has a start... This is mine.

Welded down in Dover
... to the ferry, and after a mad frantic run-around to get groceries, water, and gas, we were on board the Sea France ferry to Calais! When we touched down, Joel faced the earthshattering concept of driving on the right hand side of the road. But seeming ...
Back to where it all started
This is a top pick! Another big drive day and we've returned to the first stop on our tour. We frequented the familiar pubs. I indulged in the local brew - Coq Hardi. I won't regale spare you from the jokes about the name of the beer this time round. Kim ...
Along The Clay Road
The landscape is covered with corn fields and wheat crops and sugar beets, and it is strikingly familiar to the part of southern Ontario where I live. The lives that were lost here in WW I are calling to us; as our bus rolls along, and despite many stops ...
Land of crazy people and dog poop
Not much to report, Lille is beautiful but we only really came to see Vimy Ridge. There is only so much walking you can do before you get bored. We are staying in an actual hotel, which is nice for a change. We have a private room and a ...

Le Coq Hardi
This is a top pick! With the time difference we arrived in Boulonge at 2:30 and headed south to the village of Montreuil-Sur-Mer. Sur Mer means on the sea, but deceptively this place is more than 15 miles inland. That's ok though I had been here each year while in London on ...

Goodbye Paris, Hello Lille
I just arrived in Lille just over an hour ago by TGV (in right around an hour from Paris, super fast). I got a bit lost arriving to my new host's house, but here I am, safe and warm. I'll stay here till Friday, when we carpool (two groups in ...
les impressions...
To say the least, my first week and a half in France has been a whirlwhind of overstimulation on so many levels. Amongst eating unbelievably delicious meals, exploring the city on foot, and making genuine friends, it has been ...
Lunching in the sun in St Omer
The sun is shining so brightly today and it is an absolute pleasure to ride the beautiful French country roads! The views are amazing and there is hardly anyone on the roads. I am still not quite used to stopping and taking pictures, it is actually not ...

Interactive France and Germany
