Very surprised that I didn’t have a sore head this morning.
Went a bit OTT with the red wine seeing as how it was free. Dispensed by a hand
pump instead of out of the bottle. Most strange but wow wouldn’t I like to
adopt that method! On tap and as much as you like....lovely.
Before the coach arrived I walked to the beach a few yards from the hotel. With Thursday being a free day, cant wait to dip my toes in the sea.

Off to
Ypres to see the
Menin Gate . Unfortunately due to
extensive road works all around Ypres another hour was added to the journey as
our coach driver tried almost in vain to get to the drop off point. So when we
did eventually arrive in the square only 2 and a half hours were allocated for sightseeing. Still that was plenty of time to see most of what we wanted to see but not
enough time to go round the Museum of Flanders. I suppose we will just have to
make the effort to come back at some point in the future. Anyway loads of
photos to show as usual and a few wildlife from yesterdays trip.
