The Somme, day 6, the end
I’d been awake for an hour, trying to get some sleep, but I was still agonizing, thinking our last day was already upon us. First things first: get up, shower, and pack up our things.

The Somme, day 5
At 7:30 sharp, the alarm goes off. On vacation? Yes, on vacation, this time there’s an alarm. Shower, get dressed, pack your things, and get in the car for a good hour’s drive to Dieppe.
The Somme, day 4
As the sun begins to shine through the open window, I cautiously open one eye. I hadn’t heard my alarm go off yet, so I decided to wait until it did. Since yesterday was a long day, I decided to take it a bit easier today. The area around Agincourt was on the agenda.
The Somme, day 3
Just before the alarm went off, I woke up. A new day, the hum of a paraglider flying over the bay, the sheep in the meadow behind our hotel. Living like a god in France. Now, I’m not a god, but I am living in France this week. We had a long day ahead of us; I wasn’t fully aware of that yet, though. The end of the day would tell a different story.
The Somme, day 2
After a wonderful night’s sleep, day two dawned. I woke up again during the night to use the restroom, and because the hotel room window was open, I could see the village lights across the bay. A beautiful view.
The Somme, day 1
After a night of little restful sleep and after packing the last of my things in the car, I get in the car at 8:00 a.m. on my way to Maastricht. I have a cup of coffee at my parents’ house and, after putting my mother’s things in the car, we drive around 10:45 a.m. towards the Somme in France.
