I visited Ypres not so long ago for a day trip to have a browse around the World War grave yards and the old trenches that were used during the war. I visited both the Allied grave yards and the German grave yards and they both have sad yet interesting feel about them. The allied grave yard is amazingly kept, with the white stones and rememberence monuments naming those whose died defending their country. I also took the time to sign the rememberence book and filled it with simply a word that covers everything, "Respect".
The German grave yard i visited was smaller but just as sad. With it's flat grey stones and basic look, however it is also very well kept and has a peaceful feel about it.
The trenches that i visited were again, fantasticly kept. I even had a wonder through them. The dark tunnels and the thick mud would make a great playground for any kid.
All in all, Ypres is a wonderful place to visit. The town centre itself is has a very medievil look about it but the shops are great. I remember a man in the chocolate shop gave us some free chocolate because wait for it..... we were English... Now thats the kind of treatment i love.
