Belgian Battlefields
Monday Dec 3 Another day in and about the battlefields of Belgium. Weather was generally poor - at times the car warned it was 3° and to be aware of 'black ice'. There was mizzle, drizzle or light rain all day. Not much fun for getting in and out of the car as we completed our battlefield car tour begun yesterday. We also encountered a number of 'closed on Mondays' situations eg. Hooge Crater Museum, our very nice bakery on the way to the car park and quite a few cafes and ...
Belgium Here We Come
We are now double checking each other to ensure that we have all our belongings. No time for going back and too costly to replace things.

Lady TT (the TomTom GPS) has done well so far, she is briefed one more time and ...

We watched them strech the sugar and then turn it into swirled candy which was cut into little bonbon sized pieces by a machine. We were just as entranced as the 5 year olds next to us. After that we headed back to ...
A day in Ieper
... few picture of ducks (there are always ducks on my vacations) and then crossed a foot bridge and followed the path into and under the ramparts I had crossed over a few days earlier.
That morning I'd had a bit of a bad shock. I found that my camera batteries were not charging. I had tried them in London and they had worked, but they were not charging here. If they wouldn't work then I couldn't take pictures for the rest ...
