Leaving the camp site in the pouring rain this morning – the temperature 20 degrees lower than it was yesterday …. Bugger…
We motored from 8am until 4.30pm…. Gertie put us on a Toll Road a couple of times… and I managed to have an argument with a petrol pump that would not speak the English…. After all if it wasn't for us they would be speaking German….. but sorted out the problem with the card being upside down !!!!!
We found the camp site in Ypres and pitched and then walked into town to watch the Ceremony at the Menin Gate and then watch a bit of a concert in the town square and as usual a couple of light beers followed by and ice cream !!!! I will have to join a gym when I get back….. or get a bigger pair of trousers….
It is now 10.30pm and we do not have to get up and ride in the morning – but the plan is to get up late (ish) visit the Flanders Field Museum and ride to a couple of the interesting places – of which there are so many…. Now raining again ----- after all it's Belgium........ Nite nite
PS I managed to drop the bike off the centre stand – it sank into the grass and fell over very sedately… and broke the Right hand mirror…. Worse things happen at sea… as they say…
