August 8, 2024,Vierville-sur-Mer ...... Port en Bessin
We cycled on the very well signposted cycle path - there and back..... I only saved the outward journey because of a lack of battery capacity 😅

Port-en-Bessin is a beautiful harbor town, a good place to buy fresh fish. On the way to Omaha Beach, we visited the American War Cemetery. It was also very impressive. We witnessed the daily flag-lowering ritual at 4:00 p.m. It is raised again at 9:00 a.m.

Today we cycled to Omaha Beach. That wasn't the best decision. First, it was Saturday, and second, D-Day is in six days. This means there are so many cars on the road, and sometimes it's almost impossible to get through on a bike.
