I've been well out of communication, travelling. Yesterday we visited the Pegasus bridge and museum in Caen, captured by airborne troops on D-day. Today we're visiting the Bayeux tapestry museum. We're actually staying 2 nights in the same hotel! Lots to see in this area.

We have a bit of bunker in my house. Its interesting stuff. The museum of peace is breath taking. There is a replica of a gas chamber there and even the thought of it is chilling.
I hope you visit Mont St. Michel, it is definitely a must see !

I may leave that for another year.
Its blooming awful, really commercialised and very expensive.
@Petter Always a good reason to go back to that part of France. You need to leave a whole morning or afternoon to see it properly. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
@Amisja I think I enjoyed the history and the sheer impact it had when approaching it. Yes like a lot of tourist attractions this can be a problem, unfortunately.
Holiday! Glad to hear you are having fun.
Photos please!

I've even purchased a brand new digital camera for the visits.
21mm ultra wide angle and special low light sensitivity, so I can take photos without using the flash. It also zooms to 600mm telephoto!
Damned good excuse to buy myself a new toy 
Cool Petter. Miss you. Have fun.
