Off to the other D-Day beaches. I follow the Euro Velo route 4 on the GPS. The route is still in planning as I bump along the coast trail. The route must have been draw on a map without riding it. At Pointe du Hoc I look off the cliff the troops climbed. Not sure why this was called Omaha “beach”.  Large photo of WWII are placed by buildings in the old photos.  I take road as my bottom had taken enough bounces.  I did not want to deal with more mud and sand.  Camp at another municipal camp.  Rain in the afternoon into night

Love and kisses
