Ypers 22 till the 24the of March

Hello everyone,

On sunday evening the twentysecond of march we left for Ypers. We had to take the train from Kortrijk to Ypers and we had bad luck because we had a delay of 30 min. When we eventually arrived in Ypers we had to hurry to the Menin Gate to see the Last Post. The Last Post is a ceremonie that remembers the victims of World War I. As always i find that ceremonie rather overwhelming. After the ceremonie we went to the place where we spent the night.
On mondaymorning the 23 of March we went with a coach to visit so sites who were very important for World War I. We went to Vladslo, which is a graveyard for german soldiers. Then we went to the Ijzer Tower. We visited the museum there. It give a lot of information about World War I.
After the lunch we went to Tyne Cot cemetery, which can be found in Passendaele. It is a cemetery for all fallen soldiers who faught with the Brittish.
After Tyne Cot we went to Poperinge to visit the Talbot House. This was a house were the soldiers could rest. Everybody was welcome there,common soldiers, officers,generals,... The could sing, dance, pray, talk together. Our guide was a very good storyteller and i was very interesting.
In the evening back at our place where we stayed there was a performance about World War I. It was very good.
On tuesday we went to visit Flanders Field Museum and afterwards we returned to Antwerp. I added some pictures to show you what we've seen.
