Haunting.

Ypres is a strange place to visit if you happen to be reading about world war 1 at the time, the town was rebuilt brick for brick but your imagination tell's you it should be a pile of rubble.

The peace pool at Passchendaele is very eerie

Brake when you see god

Everyone should go to these places and see the ruined landscape at places like Hill 60 and it really puts it into perspective. Seeing how close the lines were and how many thousands died to advance mere feet. Horrific.

We go over to Belgium for the Beer (Bruges), but make an effort to visit some of the WWI sites. Haven't done the museum in Ypres itself yet as it was closed when last went.

queenie: Hiya fellas and fellettes. My name is Gary, I am 72, live in rural Victoria (Australia), am an unashamed Anglophile and own a gold 1998 NB. I bought her in 2016, reflecting at the time that I had wanted a car like this since age 15. Yep, took me 50 years! Dec 31, 2023 5:58:34 GMT
