Normandy Landing's

Off the ferry and into Normandy, only not quite as smooth as we thought because we were the second vehicle off the ferry, the first being a white van man who took off into the sunrise, leaving Si to led the procession out of the ferry port, we were reliably informed that we just turn right and go over the bridge.  We turned right and went straight back into ferry departures.
The first few days driving along the D Day Beaches, historical sites, we visited Courseulles Sur Mer where the first house that was liberated on the day still stands and the US Military Cemetery and Museum at Omaha Beach, walking through the cemetery makes you realise the huge loss of life of so many young men, very moving.
