Well, at last we are finally back in Swansea after our busy trip to France. The van has had a good scrub and wax today so looking lovely and clean on the outside. All the flies and black streaks gone which is a good thing. The inside to get done tomorrow hopefully. Washing done and dried. So lovely to be back home with fond memories of a trip which followed the Coast from Calais all around to the ile d'Oleron and the back up thru the Loire. Still have loads of lovely French delights in the van so that will keep us going for a few days.

Looking forward to October half term but where to go? My parents are coming with us so we may go back to Holland like last October or perhaps Luxembourg. Will only be away from the Monday night til the Saturday so don't wanna go far. Eurotunnel all booked but where to go?::bigsmile: The dogs will not be with us this time love 'em.

That is exactly what we did and just went lol. Hope you have a fab time. Auchan supermarkets seemed to be the cheapest on diesel but they varied so so much. I can see a bit off white sky from Llansamlet to your neck of the city lol

It depends what your interests are. We live in the country so we like going to museums and art galleries and we like history.
Brugges- the Venice of the North- A trip on the canals wonderful! Almshouses, chocolate factory is ok, lunch in town square is better!

TOP 10

If you are in Brussels for one or two days, VisitBrussels proposes a selection of the 10 most visited monuments, museums and attractions in the capital of Europe.
To discover all our activities, click here



BOZAR
Erected in 1928 by the architect and master of Art Nouveau, Victor Horta, it is a centre of cultural and artistic life...
Atomium
The unmistakable symbol of Brussels and Belgium, a unique feat in the history of architecture, the Atomium is today the most popular attraction in the Capital of Europe...
Magritte Museum (Royal museums of Fine Arts)
This museum stands right in the centre of Brussels, on Place Royale, and exhibits for public viewing the surrealist artist’s creations belonging to Belgium’s Royal Museums of Fine Arts...

Mini-Europe
Located at the foot of the Atomium, Mini-Europe is the only park where you can have a whistlestop tour of Europe in a few short hours. A truly unique journey!
Natural Sciences Museum
No visitor can ignore the museum's showpieces: the Iguanodons of Bernissart.

Comic Strip Museum
This museum offers two visits in one: an "archaeological" discovery, since it is housed in what used to be the Waucquez warehouse built by Victor Horta in 1906...

Océade
This is the capital's water funpark, open all year round, with all the excitement of high-speed slides, the charm of jacuzzis, saunas, solariums and wavepools...

Royal Museum of Army and Military History
The museum houses around one hundred thousand items (weapons, uniforms, armours...), making it one of the world's largest military museums...

Art and History museum - MRAH
Art and History museum - MRAH
The Cinquantenaire Museum is divided into four main sections: national archeology, antiquity, non-European civilisations and European decorative arts...

MIM - Musical Instruments museum
This excellent museum occupies the old Art Nouveau buildings of the Old England stores (3000m2 of exhibition space) and is one of the biggest collection of instruments in the world...

BELvue ( Museum)
Have you ever wondered how much you really know about the history of Belgium ? Would you like to get to know it in a splendid building, next to the Royal Palace, where it all began?

City Hall of Brussels
Brussels Town Hall is one of Belgium's finest civic buildings. Not only because of the numerous sculptures adorning its walls, but also because of its perfect proportions and the incomparable beauty of its tower...
visitbrussels.be/bitc/BE_en/mini-site/2729/horta-2011.do
We only had time to do the Horta Art Nouveau museum, the art and history museum and the grande place city hall where we had a fabulous but expensive meal!

Worl dWar 1
Sanctuary Woood/ Hill 62 walk in the actual trenches and look at gruesome pictures through ancient cameras
Ypres Last Post ceremony at 8pm each evening
Ypres museum on ww1
Tyne Cot British cemetery
Laangemark - German cemetery
St Juliaan site of the first gas attack
So much more but this is a long post and I hope I'm not boring funsters. I used to lead school trips to the battlefields and I find the sacrifice these brave men made very moving
