Dunkerque

We had our trip to Dunkerque, costing 7.40 Euros to catch Kusttram from Oostende to De Panne station and from there we caught the bus into France. We passed many pretty villages along the way, and the weather was generally reasonable - at least we saw no rain in France.

Dunkerque is best known for WW2, when the small boats came to collect Allied soldiers from its beach.

Here are some photos of the town:

Tower in Dunkerque.

I think the tower in the photo was part of a castle, or a fortress, but I'm not 100% sure of that.

We liked Dunkerque, though we didn't see alot of it. Next time (for we will definitely go again) we hope the Maritime Museum will be open, and we would like to see the beach area.
