Belgium Day 7 - Ypres

We had breakfast of fruit salad and toast, then got in the car and drove the 60km or so to Ypres. There we parked near the Menin Gate, a World War I memorial engraved with 70,000 names of dead soldiers with no known grave.

We then walked to the main square and went to the In Flanders Field museum.

After that we walked along a canal to Essex Farm cemetery, then round the ramparts round the town.

We had a beer in a bar then got back in the car and drove to Tyne Cot cemetery, which is the largest WWI cemetery with nearly 12,000 graves and over 30,000 names engraved.

We then drove home but couldn't find any shops open to buy food, so we had scrambled eggs and biscuits and cheese.
