English coaches in Poperinge, Belgium – 3 Sep 2004 (536-19)

Friday 3 September 2004 - These two English coaches were, quite wrongly in my opinion, occupying the De Lijn bus stop bay in Grote Markt, Poperinge, Belgium whilst the passengers walked round the town and the drivers had lunch in Hotel Amfora (directly behind the rear of the Harris coach). Friday is market day in Poperinge and the market square (left) is not accessible for parking until 1300.

Leading coach is TWH Travel of London Iveco Eurostar with Harris of Bromsgrove (28 JGH) tri-axle Neoplan behind.

We had numerous stays at Hotel Amfora on our trips to Belgium. It was a bolt hole for me in the busy 1990s! I could happily sit on the front patio watching everything go by whilst sipping a Hommelbier! Thank you to the proprietors Stef and Carmen for the ambience and hospitality. They moved on but our memories have stayed with us.
