Properties

My battery recharger is once again stolen at the camp site - down to Omaha beach with both the old and the new memorial - visit at Omaha beach museum with very graphic tableaus from D-day and an excellent film - steep hill and a very narrow dirt track that becomes so steep in a dense forest that we have to remove all the luggage and wheel our bikes up the hill - the American military cemetary at Coleville-sur-Mer, where we first are allowed into the visitor centre and then onto the impressing cemetary with over 9000 crosses in white marble in an impeccable garden setting. Lunch on a bench some way down the stairs - we cycled on with a visit to the beach itself near Saint-Honorine-des-Pertes, where we make coffee and I have a 'shower' under a waterfall, but fail to walk out to the sea - steep ascend back to the road - Kolya and I agree on parting because he wants to stay near the coast while I want to visit the town of Bayeux, about 8 km from the coast - Alone on winding rural roads into Bayeux - many one-way-streets in the centre, which I pass on my way to the camp site - evening visit in the town centre with supper at restaurant Florentin near the cathedral - phoned home - a pint of beer at an Irish pub.
