Today was what you would call a hallowing experience. I did the Flanders field tour which was extremely informative and emotional and then the day finished off with the last post ceremony at the Mennin Gate
At the gate my great great great uncles name was carved into the wall of over 50 000 missing or soldiers with no graves
It was extremely emotional and honestly words can not describe nor the pictures do justice of what I saw today and the information that I heard
I had tears in my eyes during the last post it again was honestly a place that you had to be to experience for this I didn't take photos or videos as I felt it to be disrespectful
The WW1 history just within Belgium is immense!Read more
Bus trip from Paris to Bruges today!! Got in at about 1pm so had a nap then went for some sightseeing and it's a very charming city. Really pretty old buildings very touristy but
Then I had one of the best burgers that I've had over here top 2 and homemade ice tea which was lovely
Trying to have an early night but my room is right above the bar!! So noisy, getting to that stage of been over hostels but only 1 month more in them hahaRead more
Again the weather was not great overcast all day and raining throughout
I visited the Palace of Versailles and the gardens today if only for the short period that I was actually there. So I caught the shuttle bus from the hostel which took me out to the palace and the driver gave us 3 hours before he would be back to pick us up which would have been great except for the fact that it took 2 hours waiting in the line to get inside
Even though the ticket had been pre purchased so that only left us with an hour to wiz through the palace and gardens
It was absolutely spectacular and I only wish I had more time. I could have spent the entire day in the gardens alone
Spectacular none the less and it was great to do😊
Just eating sushi for dinner, so not exactly French but close to the hostel and cheap👍🍱Read more
