Blankenberge- Rouen

A little bit of a sleep in. On the road by 9.30 into Bruge city. No traffic on a Sunday! The centre of Bruge is beautiful. Not 1 but 3 beautiful cathedrals to see. The cobbled streets have gorgeous old buildings.
Back on the road at 11.30. Drove through some very scenic farmland.
Our first stop was Franvillers to place a poppy at a grave in the cemetery. If you want to know the story, ask me when I get home. It was quite emotional. Next we went to Villers-Bretonneux War Cemetery. The connection is through Jacko's grandmother. Once again ask about it when we get home. We placed another poppy there. Mum would be proud to know that two of the poppies she knitted have found a home on the Somme. It is an amazing place. There are bullet holes from the Germans in WW2. Another emotional encounter. We checked in to our Rouen accommodation at 6 and had a relaxing evening.Læs mere
