The past few days have been pretty crazy. We slept on the plane and then landed at 9:30 in the morning, and by 10:30 we had our rental car and were on the road to our b&b. We went past a small village on the way and so we stopped and walked around it. It was one of the villages (Honfleur) that never were bombed in WWII. Then we arrived at our b&b so we crashed on the beds and slept. The next day we went to Juno beach where the Canadians landed on D-Day. It was very commemorative and impressive! I learned that the Germans where defended so well that even in the areas they were not expecting attacks from, there were still many defences placed there so that it would slow the Allied forces down. We also went to a cemetery for the Canadians. It was one of my favourite stops because it was very calm and peaceful.
The next day we went to Le Mont Saint Michel, (which is an abbey on an island). It was protected for 1000 years by the fast moving tides and quick sand. It was unbelievable with the towering abbey and the small village underneath. After that we drove back and went to the dinner that the owner of the b&b served, it was great! We are packing up as I write this and we are about to go to our next stop! See you then!
