The sites that we were going too were lots of graves sites, main in gate were they do last post in the center of Ypres, museum of passondale and lots of trenches.The first things I would recommend you to see is some grave sites, where they are quite emotional and also the passondale museum where they have a complete wall of guns and bombs and a huge replica of a trench which is underground. The restaurants i would recommend is the squid and wagammamas. Talbot house was very emotional because the soldiers would have there last pray there and probably would never come back, but i think the church lost the vibe of the sadness because they restored it, and i thought it looked a bit new and modern. The trenches we visited were very gloomy and dark and it made you think you were actually there. The highlight of my trip was the museum with the whole wall of guns and bombs and also the huge underground trench where they built the replica in the museum. I also loved going about on the streets of Belgium and buying a 50 cal. bullet from the war shop and buying lots of chocolate. I also was very emotional about the vast amount of graves like tyncott were 60,000 people were buried from just Ypres.
