In the footsteps of the brave: In Flanders Fields
... death and doom. Langemark was the conclusion of our first day on the Western Front and we hot tail it to Lille, just over the border in France. Not far from Langemark we pass Vancouver Corner where a large spire, atop it a bust of a Canadian infantryman, ...

Day 1 & 2 - Sydney-London-Lille
... a little later than originnally planned. Caught the Tube to St Pancras with seconds to spare and boarded the Eurostar for Lille, France. Chunnel was a disappointment - nothing but darkness. Emerged in a snowstorm and arrived in Lille at 6:30pm. Ibis Hotel ...

Towards Brussels
With only the very briefest of stops at Lille we charged across the WW1 battlefields of Flanders, towards Brussels. This was countryside which would have still been more familiar to my Grandfather than myself. My one or two visits to Antwerp on the ships ...

Back to sobriety (and boredom)
So we took the first train heading to France, planning to visit the countryside. The most intresting aspect of interrail ticket is that you can do what you want: you don't like the place you just reached? Catch the next train and go. So me first moved ...
Paris to Lille in just an HOUR!
When I say this train was fast...it just might be an understatement. We whizzed out of Paris and arrived in Lille so quickly, I didnt even get a chance to go to the bar car for coffee. Anne-Genevieve wasnt the only thing that met us in Lille either. How ...
