Waterloo - 200 years

What a fantastic time - visiting the bivouacs and Napolean's headquarters. We walked kms - 5 km to go from the French bivouac and N's headquarters and then to Allies' bivouac. Phew. Luckily weather was early 20s and no rain. We ate yummy belgium fast food and I tried beer - yep, Waterloo.

We saw also the new memorial for the bicentenary after seeing the troops leaving for the battlefield.

Next: the three armies met at the battlefield and the battle began...Champ de Bataille de Waterloo.

5,000 troops, 300 canons and 300 horses. The French attack on Hougoumont farm is unsuccessful.

We were with Jenn, Philippe, Florian and Audrey with a great view...a few of the 60,000 spectators.
