Dear diary

just come back from 3 days in Brugge.  What a beautiful town.

we went on a tour to the Flanders Fields with Quasimodo Tours.  It was a whole day going round the different areas to do with the 1st world war.  We were picked up in their bus at 9am and dropped back to our hotel at 9pm that night.  It was a very good tour.  The guy that took us Philippe (Phil) was so knowledgeable, a brilliant tour guide with a great sense of humour too.  We went to all the different areas that World War 1 were fought at; the strategic points which were fought for, often with huge casualties to the Kiwis and Aussies.  Man we got hammered, so many deaths.  What a huge waste of lives.

Courtney and I were the youngest on the tour by years
