| Hi
We just come back from Normandy and I think we did quite a lot in one day. We did Omaha beach (with the American Military cemetery), Port en Bessin, Longues battery, Arromanches with the Mulberry harbour(and the musuem), ver-ser-Mer, Courselles, Luc-sur-mer, walked along sword beach, Pegasus bridge(the cafe and musuem)and then onto the Merville battery...phew.
It was very exhausting, but very worthwhile, but I think the Merville Battery let it down in its overgrown and flooded bunkers.
The mulberry harbour is best seen when the tide goes out.
I have enclosed a few photos.....
Cheers
Marc.
