Travels in Monty the motorhome, a Swift Escape 686. Thursday, 16 April 2015. Operation Normandy - Thu 16th April - Day 5.

There are plenty of shops and places to eat, hotels and even a post office. Your legs get plenty of exercise as you climb up the steps to the ramparts and the Abbey. Operation Normandy - Sat...

Travels in Monty the motorhome, a Swift Escape 686. Monday, 13 April 2015. Operation Normandy - Sunday 12th April - Day 1. We woke up and then breakfasted at the buffet again. There was another good spread with full English and continental. Completely stuffed we packed our overnight things up and waited for the announcement that we could return to the car deck. As the ferry wasn’t overly busy we were soon off, through passport control and heading through Belgium into France. Approach to Le Blockhaus.
