Waterloo

Jennifers Surpirse for me was take me to  Waterloo

Battle site for the Duke of Wellington

I have completed 3 courses on him so far.

This was special

We arrived late in the day to see Lion Hill

Built 3 yeasr after the battle to mark the site that the Prince of Orange was hit.

inside the Exhibit were painting of the great battle.

Showing the diversity of the types of troops fighting in the battle.

it was an epic painting.

when we came out, it was time to climb Lion Hill

Jennifer was tied but she knew this was a must do. 

or she would have regretted for the rest of her life.

it was an epic climb. but once at the top. the views opened up.

the monument for the Great Battle

  

Hougoumont Farm was in view.

And the grounds of the battle

Wellington stated that they had changed the landscape of the battle in building the Mound.

but what a history place to visit.
