I'm back! What a trip:) It was VERY hot and sunny, and seeing the battlefields and trenches was a really great experience. Our school visited In Flanders Fields Museum, the Somme, Menin Gate and Ypres, some in France and others in Belgium. The hotel we stayed in was awesome and lucky us, we got a two hour shopping time on the last day, including chocolate, rings and clothes! Here is a lot of snapshots of our holiday. (Some of these pics were taken by AKFB as my camera ran out of battery on the first day:( so some credit to AKFB! http://anotherkindafashionblog.blogspot.co.uk/)
Awesome chandelier in one museum we went to on the first day!
A sculpture in the same museum.
Creepy hand!
World war one aeroplane sculpture.
Wax model of a cute horse!
The trenches.
Amy casually posing next to a dying man!
World war one bombs.
World war propaganda posters!
Next we went to a cemetery with French and Flemish soldiers buried.
Another British, Canadian and American cemetery.
A plaque in a field.
French update!
Medals of the soldiers that fought.
AKFB is rocking this moustache orientated outfit! Just right for France!
Nice window!
Oooh, loving this jacket! Might go and see if they have any in Topshop! :P LOL!
The museum from outside.
Luckily AKFB brought her trusty French dictionary to help!
Our sketchbooks we got given for the activities.
Another of AKFB's cool outfits!
Poppy wreathes in the cemetery.
This was at Menin Gate in Ypres, Belgium. This is a big memorial gate with lots of soldiers names inscribed in the stone. (Menin Gate is the pic at the top of this post.)
Finally AKFB, CaroliNerd and me in one of the fields!
As a little extra, I found this really quite nice poppy kimono from Topshop, £45.00. Goes with the world war one theme very well, don't you think?
