The ferry to France was almost empty. Us, some truck drivers and pensioners. Even so, they stuffed the car decks full and I guess, didn’t use all the space.
We spent a little while in Arras trying to find the youth hostel that no longer exists. In the end, we went to a different square and found a hotel, not too expensive. It was not a typical prairie type motel, just two beds and a bathroom and a very very small table, no kettle or mini fridge.
The next day, Tuesday, we went to Vimy, and took a tour down in the tunnels. The guide turned off the lights, except the emergency lights, to show us how it would have been; you couldn’t even see your hand in the dark. She turned the lights back on when everyone had their hands up (apparently they always do that and try to catch people with their hands in front of their faces).
Some of the sheep at Vimy.
Today, we did math! Boooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At about 13:00, we left our gîte and drove to Belgium. We didn’t even know when we crossed the border. The first thing we did was walk around Tournai and admired the boulangeries and chocolateries. Than Sam and I went to the top of a tower and mom and dad had a treat from one of the boulangeries (which was beside an expensive chocolaterie).
Cat on car!
That photo of the cat on the car is tooooo cute! But I'm glad it's not my car! ;-) It's good that you're doing some math, I wish I had studied it more carefully when I was your age... I found a spelling mistake in this posting... ;-) See if you can find it...one hint... it's a homonym. :-)
