Since our last post we have arrived at the Normandy beaches one can see for many kilometres stretching down the coast the seaside towns ' sur mer'. All along the coast are memorials to soldiers who fell and victorious battles won. We had 2 days of flat riding, sun and little wind. We then turned south and headed inland to Bayaux and decided to have a cultural day looking at the 70 metre longBayaux tapestry dating from 1066 and depicting the Battle of Hastings and then a afternoon at the battle of Normandy museum. Bayaux is probably the nicest town we have encountered so far. Our journey to Mt St Michel begins tomorrow.
