Taxi Leo.... Car & Taxi Review

I used this taxi company a few times to get myself to or from my hotel..I walked the four kilometers more than once but it certainly was more than once a necessity to have some sort of transport..arriving into town and no available buses and luggage...

Prices were a bit high I thought....about twelve Euros to or from Hotel Kasteelhof 't Hooghe...

The four different times I used they're services there were three different drivers.Every time they showed up when they said they would after a call had been made...and the van that was being driven was always clean and the drivers friendly and polite...

Had I been in Ieper longer I certainly would have rented a bike to get myself in and out of town or around the countryside...

Train Travel....Ieper Station.... Train Review

The Belgium train service is pretty good....particularly by Canadian standards...the cities and towns it seems to serve easily is quite high...

I used the train to get from Brussels to Ieper and the trip was smooth and took about an hour and a half...when I arrived in Brussels via Thalys Train service from Paris I checked in with the ticket sales person who spoke French and English as well as Dutch...just to confirm that I was going to the correct platform for the train to Ieper...

The Station in Ieper was fairly small and the agent on duty was quite helpful.I arrived the evening of Easter Sunday.....it was pretty sleepy...not me ...the station.....as I was staying outside of town a few kilometers he arranged a taxi for me...

There are storage lockers here at the Ieper train station as well as an automated ticket machine for train tickets....

They rent bicycles here also...

My Thalys ticket was good for ANY Belgium station and cost me next to nothing for the extra...to travel from Ieper to Brugge the cost was an even 11 Euro....as was the fare to travel from Brugge to the National Airport in Brussels...
