  • m5rammy - I brought some games and some books to swap (but not exactly by the graves, obviously).

Comments

It was a pleasant calm day, very peaceful.
But I found my Tomtom is not very accurate for pinpointing locations. Walking with it, it seems to be keeping track, then I stop, and the numbers keep changing a short while. Walking again, slowly, the numbers don't change, then suddenly they jump by up to 5 (0.00005°). I know it is not a big difference, but I wanted to be where it would show the exact numbers given by the hash.

Good thing I had looked carefully at Google maps and counted how many rows and how many gravestones to go.
