Full circle.

Saturday 13th January 2024.

This mornings journey wasn’t the easiest of our last few days, we set off in thick fog that stayed with us for the whole morning until we arrived at our lunchtime stop at Bayeux.

Memorial museum to the Battle of Normandy.

We have stopped here in the past as there was a small aire adjacent to the car park, sadly it isn’t currently open. After lunch we drove a few hundred yards up the road and filled up with diesel at a Leclerc filling station, it wouldn’t take the card I’ve used for the past 5 weeks and would only accept my debit card so I will have to pay a fee for that. We had intended to fill up with LPG but the pump only fed vehicles with the access on the left,of course ours is on the right.😵‍💫

From Bayeux we drove to the coast to Arromanches we didn’t manage to park in the village so we drove out of town to an area dedicated to the D Day landings, when we last drove here it was under construction.

This memorial garden was exhibited at the Chelsea Flower Show.

We drove on taking wherever possible the coast road and stopped in Luc sur Mer for a coffee break, there were a few brave souls on the beach and as today the temperature hasn’t risen above 1 degree you have to be wrapped up warm.

We are now parked next to the aire we stayed on at Lion sur Mer almost 5 weeks ago, Alison and Peter stayed here last night as they caught the early morning ferry. We are spending about 4 hours here as we don’t have to be at the ferry port until approx 9.30 pm. We have been for a walk around the town but again there is very little open. So here we are Full Circle, home tomorrow and life returns to normal.

  1. Safe travels back on the last part of your journey to wombourne. At least you’ve slowly become accustomed to the cold weather after the warm Spanish sunshine 🌞. It’s chilly to say the least at home 🥶 but no doubt you’ll soon be planning your next journey away. Hope the ferry crossing is kind to you and look forward to seeing you all hopefully next Wednesday xx
