Belgian Battlefields
... and moved to nearby cemeteries. Many other artifacts are now stored in the Flander's Fields Ieper Museum. Now there is a reconstructed zig zag trench showing the entry and exit to the underground tunnel network which was marked at ground level by gravel pathways. We were pleased we had persisted and found this site. After this we easily found Hill 60 and enjoyed a walk over this uneven ground. Amazing to be on the site of such military significance and story captured is in major ...

The historic city of Bruges.....
... able to catch up a bit on my E-mail. The connection wasn’t perfect, but it worked reasonably well.
The Guide has organized a bicycle trip late this afternoon to the nearby town of Damme, departing at 16:00 so I might give that a try and hope my “bad” knee doesn’t cause me any problems. That trip will last about two hours, with the riding portion only being half an hour in each direction. That should be tolerable for my ...
