Lille & Lost in Belgium

Thanks for all the comments!

Great to hear from you all.

OK, an update on the journey so far, told you all the Paris stuff & next is Lille, a very busy spot. Arrived sunday mid-morning & overheard someone mentioning the local markets were on! so thought we may take a look! big mistake!! My god you should have seen the people, as thick as flies on a Hamey Dog bone!. We managed to shuffle through for a while, but all too much, Deb remembered she dont like crowds & almost had my backpack picked in the crush!   Rest of the day we spent wandering through the old town, tried a French dessert you would not believe!   Next day (Monday) hired a car and went to Belgium to visit Deb’s G.G. Uncles war grave. Very sad moving place. It was so bitterly cold. Also spent a couple of hours driving around Belgium, visited Ypres, Tyne Cot cemetary & Passendale, some town we went through 3 times trying to find France again! Finally got back to Lille & you guessed it! Lost again!   WE are in Amsterdam at the moment, having a great time. Trains are wonderful.  Amsterdam is reasonably free of scooters comming at you from the wrong dirrection, but they have been replaced by thousands of bicycles!!  and freezing!!

Would love to hear from you boys!!  will add some more from Switzerland! cheers & here are a couple of pics!
