07/05/2015 Day 5, on the road from Ypres to Amsterdam.

Maximum temperature 14C, minimum 7C.  Intermittent rain and cloud.

Quite busy traffic en route and frustrating changing speed limits!

My pet hate, wind turbines!  They are everywhere.

Interesting bridge near Rotterdam.

My kind of windmill.

Driving under the runway at Schipol airport. See the plane on the right.

Quiet afternoon at the hotel.

06/05/2015 Day 4, still in Ypres and following the war graves. Nigel found 2 family members.

Maximum temperature 15C, minimum 6C in Ypres. Intermittent storms and hail, very, very windy again.

Every night at 8pm in Ypres at the Menin Gate they play the Last Post.  There must have been at least 2000 people there last night.

Lijssenthoek cemetery. About 10,500 graves, about half of which are unknown soldiers!

Nigel with a 19 year old family member who never came home.

Tyne Cot cemetery.  Another 12,000 graves!

Belgian road obstructions are the same as France!

Ypres is going to be packed in the next few days when they celebrate their 3 yearly cat festival!  It takes over the town it seems.
