Ypres, Ieper 2018

Left campsite on the Monday and decided as weather not good to make a run for Belgium and Ypres, weather supposed to improve and lots of cycling etc…

Managed to find a garage that did LPG and diesel so followed directions, arrived no LPG, filled up with diesel, it was a bit out of the way.

Journey easy again rain at the beginning but brightening as we left Antwerp, used R1 this time no toll!!

Walked into town
Combi light beers,
Beef bourginon, potatoes and carrots.
Tuesday
Big cycle ride, frontlines
Early dinner burger and stew with chips and beer.
Walked to last post and combi mix beer

Camping Vogelenzang, 2018

Left Bruges, after emptying cassette then driving to coaching waste water spot, after emptying that paid 50euro for 2 nights, got paid ticket and approached exit. Had seen a lot of vans stuck at this point having to get assistance to get out, but all very easy in the end.

Our destination was about a 3 hours drive away via Antwerp, Rotterdam etc..

It rained which is good for a day of travel, again easy journey apart from Antwerp to go round it you can use R1 or R2, we used R2 which has a toll tunnel in it 19e !!!!

Got stuck off road in a tulip field, towed out by farmer friendly.

Incorrect pitch numbers

Walked into the village

Beef Bourgnon

Next day, cycled tour for tulip fields and beach,

Keukenhof gardens, Beach bar in Zandvoort.

Meal in the campsite restaurant.

Lots of rain overnight, bike rack light on in the morning.

Left at 10:30, heading towards Ypres.
