On the Road Again!

With Day 3 consisting of the drive to Cabourg from Le Tréport that was consumed with visiting four different supermarkets, one purely for diesel, there's not much to report. We did stop for lunch on the west side of the Seine after conquering the Pont de Tancarville. The toll for Class 2 vehicles was €3.70 and our Emovis tag dealt with it. After we ate, healthy salad bowl, we took a walk to get a view of the bridge. I took the Canon. There was a problem with the memory card and all the photos were knackered. Luckily, Claire had her phone with her and took this one. We ended up at Cabourg around 3pm. The aire by the Hippodrome on Search4Sites says space for six vans. It was ram packed with nine vans. Too much of a fire risk! Also,  I do like to be able to open my door.... We continued to the other park up at the Carrefour Market car park. Also free plus the benefit of another supermarket very close ...

After the visit to the Merville Battery, the drive a few miles to Pegasus Bridge should have been short and quick. Today, some bridges were closed and so the satnav took us almost into Caen and then northwards along the Orne.  If I had thought about it we could have parked in the Café Gondrée car-park. Instead, we went into the road where the Memorial is situated.  It's  closed.  We parked up along the road and walked back.  We had lunch in the Café. It's around forty years ago since I went there and had a drink from the café itself.  Claire and I along with Reggie came a few years back in Molly the Elddis.  Coming over the other bridge took off our clean water drain tap from under the van. As we walked back to the van I got a couple of pictures over the fence. Signage says they are intending to have the works completed by June 2027.
