We made it safely home with only a couple of hiccoughs. Everybody safe and healthy but rather sleepy. Facebook posts suggest that some of the scouts stayed home today but hey! I was in work at 8.30 today so no sympathy here 🙂
Obviously we discussed leaving him behind...
Watching an artist while we ate our chips
The world's most expensive bag of chocolates!
Posh choc shopping
Window shopping
Scouts + chocolate = smiles
5kg of Nutella
Some great presents to round off a great camp :
Photo failed to upload from Downe so here is a taste of our weather yesterday :
Waiting for the choc demo so here are some pics while we wait.
We started at a v interactive museum.
We found a warhorse
Ypres just after the war
Ypres rebuilt
Not another museum! Groan.
Watching the choc be prepared for the demo.
A white chocolate BVM, more tasty than tasteful.
So we come downstairs and breakfast is laid out for us…
Muesli, cocopops or gold nugget thingimies
Nuttella, jam. Butter, honey or two types of cheese
Milk (fresh, not uht) choco milk, orange juice and bottled water
Fresh crusty bread
Espresso, normal coffee, tea and hot chocolate
Perfect for a chilly day in Bruges but first we will pop up to the In Flanders Field museum
King Louis challenged to wash up in 4 minutes … Fail 🙁
We’ve had a brilliant first day, here’s the update from after lunch:
We explored Tune Cot
And we laid a wreath.
We laid a wreath at Langemark German Cemetry
John talked to the scouts about the Menin Gate
Chips for dinner
With a waffle pudding
Time to buy some chocolate
Ypres looks beautiful
The Christmas Market was ... Christmassy
And we've finished the evening.with a beer in the hotel
And we’re in Bruges tomorrow
We stopped here first
And they explored the trenches
The girls had time to pose
And now we've stopped for lunch at hill 62
