Ypres
At the end of a 3 hour museum visit I was almost headache free!
When greeted with such window art, any hangover will melt away:
I proceeded to Ypres, a town in western Flanders. Ypres always managed to become the battlefront in the world wars. What was it about the geography which made nations want to battle there? The misfortune of those locals. I wanted to see battlefield and trench structures, but was vexed by the need for a car. I couldn’t make it out to the frontlines of the past. But I also didn’t want to spend the remaining daylight hours of a splendid sunny day indoors in a museum. I told myself, “I’ll go to the Flanders Fields Museum at 4pm, when the sun starts to set”. However, the doors were closed at exactly 4pm, and thus, another Belgian travel-goal was opened. Apparently they’re still finding armaments and mines near Ypres.
