(not) The Last Post - pics from Belgium

The cutest little cottage in all of Belgium

And a cool playground and cute girl to play with in the backyard...
hang on a minute....

Dugout experience at Passchendaele Memorial museum

Polygon Wood cemetery

Buttes New British cemetery, NZ memorial at the back

A very small percentage of the names at Tyne Cot cemetery-
35,000 Commonwealth soldiers with unknown graves,
and that's just the overflow from Menin Gate

New-Zealanders Street, Messines

View from Messines Ridge

A very typical village church, Belgium

Picturesque streets of Ypres/Ieper

Cloth Hall, Ieper - most impressive building in town by a mile

In Flanders Fields Museum

Menin Gate, Ieper

More Commonwealth soldiers named at Menin Gate, 60,000

NZ wreath, 11 July

Just an ordinary night at Menin Gate

Buglers five

That guy looks familiar

Brooding soldier memorial - marks the spot of the first gas attack 

German cemetery - stark, cold and haunting

Some foreign creature at Oostvleteren 

This owl just spotted some large mice for dinner

Canoodling camels at Oostvleteren

There were a couple of monkeys there too

Capybara - about the size of a large dog.  Very very odd.

Caelan made a couple of friends

Hey big ears!

Hey Alan!  Alan!  Alan!
