I've seen similar in Belgium and Holland as well. In summer you quite often see refrigerated machines selling soft fruits.
So jealous!!
The last couple of times I stayed in Ypres I stayed at the Old Tom which is right on the main square, 5 mins walk from the Menin Gate and staggering distance from the bars.
Hotel Ariane ... Nice. Have stayed there before. We will be staying there again on our way back from the Ardennes in the Summer.
Was riding in flanders at the weekend, south of Gent. Rode past a farm in the middle of nowhere and there was a potato vending machine at the entrance to the farm.
Sorry to bump but would any of you have any suggestions of venues or places of interest worth diverting to. Our main days ride is from Dunkirk to Ypres which is around 30 miles. We'd like to stretch that out to 60miles but for the life of me i cant see a good place to divert to to build out the day. Roubaix is an option but not attractive as it means riding past Ypres first.
Any thoughts, happy to zig zag about and taken in some points of interest along the way.
