And so, at day 82, we have our first lazy day. This was always going to be an ambitious trip, but even so, that took a while. There’s still a little sightseeing to be […]
Day Eighty One
Chris is absolutely determined to visit the Australian War Memorial this morning. It’s only a short distance away (funny that, with him being in charge of driving and all…) near the village of Villers-Brettoneux. I […]
Day Eighty
Things are really starting to move quickly now. We leave Belgium for France this morning. No matter how many times we do it, I’m constantly amazed how quickly you can move from country to country […]
