Day 7, Wednesday, April 24

We woke up in France this morning to another beautiful day!

I forgot to mention yesterday that our Saskatchewan kids are again so awesome! Our bus driver helped us when he didn’t have to by giving us a ride on the bus to get home our last night in Amsterdam. He was off duty but came back and picked us up when we were to use public transport. The kids made him a thank you card, drew a picture in it and googled thank you in Dutch. He was genuinely touched when the kids gave it to him and put it on display in the bus.

Vimy Ridge Memorial. This is an incredible site that marks where Canada fought together as a unit and pushed back the Germans. The French have given a parcel of this land to Canada as a thank you and that is why the Canadian flag flies proudly here.

We have enjoyed our counterparts on our tour from an English-speaking school from Quebec. We thought it was fitting to get a group shot of our entire group of 38 in front of the Vimy Ridge Memorial. We also took a YG Travellers pic as well in our rider great! Ridernation was represented at Vimy Ridge!

We had a fairly long bus day as we drove to Caen. We drove across a couple giant bridges that interesting.

We enjoyed a ham and potato dinner with chocolate cake for dessert. It was so delicious this was the only pic I could get. I may also be just a little tired and have forgot.

Another good day. Tomorrow we are at Juno Beach.
