Now that would be a mini cruise
Mig, it sounds lovely. I have a thing about the First World War and we stayed in Ypres for a week some years back. The Menin Gate is amazing and they play the Last Post there every evening. There's a cafe / bar just below it where you can get a terrific herbal beer. If possible see the museum in Ypres and Passchendaele. So moving.
Bruges is lovely. There is also a good cafe / bar where you can buy.....
Have a great time!If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

I'd like to add that we saw Alfie Boe in concert 2 years ago and he was amazing . Good fun and down to earth but an incredible voice ; loved it so much that my cat was named after him . Have a wonderful trip .

Sounds wonderful and Guernsey is beautiful. Hope you have good weather.He did not say you will not be storm tossed, you will not be sore distressed, you will not be work weary. He said you will not be overcome.

Just remembered the name of the beer we had in Bruges (though not the lovely Ypres herbal one). It was Delirium TremensIf at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

What a great gift Mig! I did a similar route about 3 years ago on the MSC Poesia. We ended up in Kiel and had to fly back from there.
I felt very humbled at the Menin Gate, the long list of names .....
As with all memorials a beautiful but sad experience. If you are going to stay for the night service. I do recommend you get there early to get a good spot.
Have a brilliant time0 -
