After stopping for the night outside the town of Arras in Northern France, I made a quick trip to the Canadian Memorial to soldiers who died in World War I, which was a short journey away near a village called Vimy. It was pretty incredible, there’s no real scale to the shot, but I’d predict it was about four storeys tall. I didn’t get very close to it because it was raining and my coat was packed at the bottom of my suitcase. In the grounds of the memorial area and park much of the ground was left pitted and uneven, the state it was in from shelling in the war, which was pretty amazing to see. When the Nazis occupied this part of France in WWII Hitler himself visited the memorial and liked it so much that he felt the need to have troops stationed around it at all times to ensure it was not defaced.

On the second night we stopped in a town called Macon, and after eating some Thai food (I know, I know) checked out this beautiful bridge, which had the added fun of people on scooters exchanging small packages underneath it at 10:30pm whilst I was taking pictures in their general direction, which is in no way dodgy or weird.

The area next to the river at Macon was pretty cool, there had clearly been a lot of development there recently, which included a couple of solid stone arm chairs. In a rare moment I managed to persuade Neil to sit on one and let me take a picture of him.

I have a load more pictures from the way down, but they’re on my iPhone and I haven’t uploaded those pics yet, and most of them suck, but I was driving for quite a long time each day, so hopefulyy you’ll forgive me for not snapping many pics.
