The last time we visited Zeebrugge, we went to Ypres and Flanders Fields. The change in schedule left us scrambling (and practically begging) to get on that tour again. Hooray for Destination Services! They came through for us.
First stop was the museum, which tells the stories and displays the artifacts.
"In Flanders Fields the poppies grow, between the crosses, row on row:
Fifteen Years Old.
They Fell Together.
Unknown.
Known to be buried in this cemetery.
Freedom isn't free.
The boat turned over in Amsterdam. Not literally...you know what I mean. We had a day to ourselves to wander around and a day for a really fun tour to "This is Holland" that culminated with a canal cruise and gin tasting.
"This is Holland" is one of those immersive rides with a 360 degree screen, visual and sensual inputs (water in your face), and it's one wild ride around the Netherlands in a helicopter...with your feet dangling. Holy shit was that fun! Next door, there's a tall building with a Lookout Tower for great views of the city.
After that, we drank gin on the canal. Did you know that the canals are actually nine feet deep but only three feet are usable? Um hmm. Three feet of trash, three feet of bicycles, and three feet of usable water.
We were on our way to Barcelona.
