Day 19 - Ypres

Rain rain go away, not perturbed we are heading off on our first long train trip to Ypres.
The trains today are on time and it is not long before we are cruising through the country side on our way.
As we arrive in Ypres the rain eases and as we make our way to the market place the rain has stopped. As I look at the guild hall I can just see the golden dragon on top of the main spire through the low hanging cloud.
We make our way to the remembrance gate, so many names, we find out that the last post is played at the gate every night. Climbing up the stairs we make our way out onto the top of the wall and start out on the walk around the wall, the path makes it's way around more than a kilometer of the wall all the while having the moat on one side.
After completing the walk we head back to the station to catch the train, the trip takes 2 hours and it is tea time by the time we arrive back in Brussels.
Another day done and more train trips tomorrow.
