Day 67 - Brugge to London

Today was our last driving day on tour. After leaving Brugge, we travelled to Ypres to visit the In Flanders Fields Museum. The In Flanders Fields Museum is dedicated to preserving the memory of World War I, notably the Battle of Ypres. The museum's name comes from the famous poem "In Flanders Fields" by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae.

From Ypres, we drove to Calais to get on the Eurotunnel. We arrived well in advance of our departure time and joined the queue to go through French border control and then UK border control. The French just stamped our passports, but the UK border control wanted to know what we were doing in the UK and when we were leaving. We convinced them to let us in.

Accessing the Eurotunnel is relatively easy. You drive in one end of the train and then drive out the other end. The trip in the tunnel is only 35 minutes, so we’re soon back in the UK and on our way to London.Les mer
