After the ceremony we travelled back to where we were staying at the 'Peace Village' near Messines.
Ypres itself, despite the devastation of the First World War is now a quite beautiful place. Take a loom a this short film as we ride out of Ypres along cobbled streets.
Then it was a short ride along some lovely roads in the evening sunshine back to the Peace Village. I have to completely recommend the Peace Village as a place to stay if you are visiting the area around Ypres. The accommodation is done as a series of small two storey units with a small bathroom and living area downstairs and four bunk beds upstairs. Basic but clean and more than adequate and at a rate of about €30 a night per person including a continental breakfast simply amazing value!! There is even secure on-site parking for your bike right outside your room! Google 'Peace Village Ypres' and give it a try.
This video shows Al Hunter and I returning to the Peace Village ..... check it out.
