July 30th: Belgium is BEAUTIFUL, but Brussels is really just a weird city, definitely not one of my favorites!
Anyway, I used Brussels as a base to get me to three places: Waterloo (Napoleon's last battle), Brugge (simply a beautiful, canal- lined, medieval city), and Ypres... The site of so much of WWI.
ALL were really special, and, when I visited Ypres, I also went to the largest cemetery in the British Commonwealth, at Tyne Cot! I went in a trench at Yorkshire, saw pillboxes, and visited two really cool WWI museums!
