AUGUST 6 & 7 – AMIENS TO VILLERS-BRETONNEAUX THEN TO CALAIS
• We spent some time at Villers-Bretonneaux which houses an amazing war Memorial and grave site honouring the wonderful Aussi men who lost their lives fighting on the Western Front 1914 – 1918. It was quite an experience to walk around and see the names on the graves and their ages – most of whom were younger than I when they died.
• From here, it was a quiet night in Amiens and then a drive to Calais which is another quick spot before crossing the Chanel tomorrow. There was a wedding in town which involved a convoy of about 10 cars sitting on their horns and driving around the town.
• We’re staying in a hotel that looks like ‘grandmas’ house’.
