PV-Holidays Residence Pierre & Vacances Le Golf Deauville

... steep to get down to the shore, it&#8217;s hard to imagine how difficult the soldiers had it. Seeing the sight at Omaha Beach really made me feel proud to be an American. After the beach, we drove onward to Saint-Malo, which is on the coast, and is a walled city. We stayed at a cute little hotel, similar to a B&amp;B and had dinner at a nice restaurant, too bad I ordered my steak too rare&#8230;<br>

Arrived at Ouistreham just before dark and found an Aire de Service right on the beach and this time it was free! The downside was it was right next to the ferry terminal and the 6am ferry to Portmouth the next day was kill the tranquilo the next morning. Kim's Maison du Scooby cooked up a storm. Pork fajitas on rice - delicious. I gave it 5 stars.

... The gear box was in need of some TLC. Kim came back to find me covered in grease and waste deep in Scooby. I am certainly learning my way around a car engine. <br> A quick pit stop via McDonalds for free internet to upload our blog and photos and then onto Ouistreham code name Sword Beach - the first of the D-Day beaches.

... 46" A small pleasant town advertising a Grand Braderie on the 20th.. Had a 20 mile round trip on the bike to Fougeres and, on the 20th., set off in high hopes in the morning to investigate the GB. What a load of tat!!! You may think that there's a load of rubbish to be seen at a UK car-boot. Here it was unbelievable. Last September in Les Andeleys we went to a market which stretched for over a mile along the Seine and into the town with top quality stalls selling goods of ...

... and not wanting to feed five of us, we regretted the company as we did not want to stop.<br>We dropped them off at the entrace to another motorway and wished them on their way. We promptly stopped for lunch and a coffee!<br>Another experience ticked off our list at least.<br>As things were going well we carried onto through to Noirmoutier to our latest "Aires" in the centre of Noirmoutier at 7 euros per night

... which works to a point but when you're paying two pound per Mb it get expensive. In the great scheme of things its not much when your running a 7 ton bus but its still stupid and it does not re-route if (when)you take a good turning.<br>On the way to Noirmoutier, it attempted to take us over the "alternative" crossing at high tide!!

The first night was spent in a nice stop on the edge of the old port in Calais.<br>I've been here before when i did some sailing in my youth so i know it well.<br>It seemed safe enough as there must have been 50 motorhomes but there was a broken window overnight for someone! <br>We moved onto honfleur and found a nice stop 2Km from honfleur which was free and had a large football/basketball court for jake to play in

... hope that Jim will receive an escort home from the 101st Division. An honor very fitting to a man who gave a lot for his country. I have a picture of Jim at his 502 Monument we went and saw together 2 days ago. When I can I will post that picture for all to see. <br><br>For those that read this blog, when you go to bed this evening please remember Jim Norene, 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division.<br><br>AIRBORNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !<br><br>

... as illustrations on paper. Reminded me of that simpsons documentary on the moon. So i went to go to sleep. Saw a man had moved into my room but he wasnt in yet. It was midnight and i wasnt tired since it paris it wasnt my bedtime yet, so i read his english paper. About 10 minutes later the man came in. A swiss man. I should have guessed by the lindt chocolate balls he left on his bed. We talked and I found out he was a sports therapist for the olympics comittee and countries ...

... i'm not a part of right now. i penned this post while i was on the train from Bordeaux to Bayeux actually and am just altering while i go along from the future. In Paris i spent just less then 2 hours (making that 6 total hours in Paris) and then i left for Bayeux (Normany Beaches). The train rides have been getting easier and easier for me for i am not shaking through the whole journey anymore...or even at the beginning. i know that i have confidence in what i am able to do but ...
