We went to the POW cemetery - most of the dead were about our age. The average age was probably about 25. Judging from the JEATH museum the previous day they were about as well off as the Jews at Dachau. Then we made the long walk in the heat to see the bridge. On the way we came across a new war museum - the decor was well done but the English was very poor and there were a lot of factual inaccuracies.
We wandered over the bridge, Oz got excited about an elephant with a stonker and then we wandered back. We spent the rest of the day in the oasis that was the Jolly Frog although Oz spent a large part of it on the loo. We filled in the guest book and signed ourselves Alec Guinness and Jim Thompson

Apologies to Oz for continually mentioning his illness but it's obviously significant when you are travelling around and wouldn't have made sightseeing in the heat easy at all. Anyway the boot will be on the other foot later on in the diary.
The Dachau reference was there because it's a concentration camp/museum I'd visited a couple of times.
