Sue and I returned home yesterday after a short five-day cruise … but boy, did we do a lot during it!
We only visited Hamburg and Zeebrugge, but in the former we visited Minatur Wunderland and from the latter we took a trip to Dunkirk where we visited the site of the Wormhoudt massacre (28th May, 1940), the Operation Dynamo Museum, and the military cemeteries at Zuydcoote. The latter are the resting places for 1174 French, 327 Commonwealth, 201 German, 1 Belgian, and 1 Russian soldiers from the Great War, and 904 French (including North African troops) and 14 Spanish soldiers who died defending Dunkirk in 1940.
I’ll be writing a blog post about our cruise later this week and probably creating YouTube videos about Miniatur Wunderland and the Operation Dynamo Museum soon afterwards.
Miniatur Wunderland is epic! I've been there several times and I'm looking forward to your report or video.
ReplyDeleteRoger,
DeleteIt truly was a wonderful place to visit … and I can see why people make multiple return visits.
All the best,
Bob

Welcome back, Bob! Sounds like a brilliant five days away—you certainly didn't waste any time!
ReplyDeleteMiniatur Wunderland looks mind-boggling from everything I've seen, and the trip to Dunkirk sounds equally fascinating. Looking forward to reading the full write-up and checking out the videos!
All the best, Andy
Andrew Bruce (Andy),
DeleteIt was a great break ... and we tried to make sure that we made the most of the time we had in both ports.
All the best,
Bob
