Return to Bastogne







Sunday we had a lovely day out with Amelia and Marc. They had watched the Band of Brothers and wanted to see the museum and monuments . Malcolm was more than happy to be the guide. We arrived in Bastogne at 12pm.we rushed into the first Cafe we came to because we need the toilets as usual. We decided to stay for lunch and had the most superb meal. Marc had noticed a small museum around the corner where we saw old photographs of Bastogne including our cafe which must be one of the few original buildings left, (compare our photo with that taken in 1944) there was also a collection of stuffed animals not to everyones taste.. We then left for Mardasson. Amelia and Marc were very impressed with the monument and museum there. Then it was on to Foy and the little memorial there erected by Tom Hanks and associates.Then on to the Peace woods.
