Remembered Today:

Ypres

Suffering from a moment of madness (several in actual fact), but I'm planning a visit to Ypres in Jan. Any advice on whats open or closed would be greatly appreciated. As I'm on foot does anyone know anything about the local buses - I know that most of the buses leave from the Market Place.

Chris.

Great time to go.

Because there are no crops or leaves you get great line of sight views (unless there is a blizzard of course!).

Mid week only a dozen or so people at the Last Post ceremony which gives it a completely different atmosphere.

I think the Zonnebeke museum is closed but In Flanders Fields is open most of the week.

Take thermal underwear though - when I went this January even though the sun shone it was b~@*dy cold.

Not sure about buses - I would think cycling would be a better option without a car but maybe that time of year it would be a bit dodgy.

Have a good trip.
