I fancy going over to Normandy for the D Day events on June 6th. Anyone else going ?
No doubt it will be tough to get a room in Caen - has anyone been to the beaches and got any recommendations about best way to get there , where to stay etc ..... ?
I was at Beulieu Motor museum at the w/e and there was a tanks and troops event there - lots of men dressed up as GIs, Tommys and FFI...one of them reckoned if Obama turns up the beach - Omaha ?- will be closed to the rest of us , so lets hope he stays away.
ps - announcer told the crowd that the fly by by a Hurricane cost £260 a second , "so enjoy every second !" Pilot did a grand job but he kept disappearing below the tree line , because he had to keep away from the crowd for health and safety reasons ...daft
PPs - the museum probably make £260 a second on the food and drink they sell - £2.20 for lemonade ?:confused: families must be bankrupt by a hot day out at a place like this...
