Arty Overload

A wonderful morning at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam today. Here are some of the treasures that caught my fancy. There were even some Van Goghs and Rembrants that one could photograph.

Spending time with the locals

 24 June 2015

Our Amsterdam Pass gave us entry to many local sites. After a sobering visit to the Dutch Resistance Museum we wandered across the road to visit the locals at the Zoo.

Menin Gate

Tonight we attended the Last Post Service at The Menin Gate in Belgium.. It was a moving and memorable occasion as we reflected on the sacrifices of so many young men. 

It was wonderful to see an Australian school group lay a wreath during the ceremony.









Once the crowds had dispersed

A Stop in Perrone

We had a long stop at the Museum of the Great War in Peronne, France, today. Australian troops are recognised here for liberating the town in 1918. There is a brilliant new permanent display devoted to the Australian involvement.
