The only full day tour on the cruise was to the beaches of Normandy. It was actually a two hour trip from the boat (all the Americans went and none of the Germans!). The first stop was the Caen Memorial (war museum) where we saw actual footage of the D -Day landing (without any vocals ) which was very moving. The two beaches we visited were Omaha and Pointe du Hoc.The beaches were beautiful and it was sunny clear day so hard in some ways to image the conditions that ...

Now before I update the travel info on this blog I have to mention the last two Chambres d'Otels we stayed in. The last blog was written from thbe Villa Blanc Marine with a beautiful view of the ocean. The owner was a fascinating man with a love of the sea and a former career as an cartoonist. Last night we stayed in a wonderful place by the ocean (same ocean different place) that reminded me of the place we stayed on Thetis Island (only smaller ...

Visited St Mer Eglise to-day complete with visits to the 82nd & 101st airborne museums. Also went to Utah beach and stopped at two different German gun battery emplacements. We have now visited all 5 main Normandy landing sites. This whole Normandy visit has left me with a much greater appreciation of the scale of the whole June 6 ...
