• Dunkirk to Bruge

    June 28 in France ⋅ 🌬 20 °C

    Hit the beach of Dunkirk In WW2 1940 the Germans were making a swift advance towards the English Channel, trapping English and French troops- operation Dynamo, a daring strategic plan, evacuated 338k British and French soldiers from the beach- a huge gamble that miraculously worked!
    Hard to explain but you can’t walk away and feel nothing. There are still shipwrecks visible at low tide. A very poignant experience.
    Nek minute- we’re in Bruge!!! lol
    We weren’t intending to pop into Belgium - but you know what we say 😂😂
    And I’m not surprised Bruge was awarded most beautiful city in Europe.
    And then there’s the Beer Wall - I’ve never seen so many beers in one place! Very cool
    Finished our French leg of the journey back in Lille for dinner - awesome day today 😎
