Normandy Tour 2024 - Day Four

Day four: A slower paced day today to recover from yesterday😀 We explored Port-en-Bessin’s Atlantic Wall defences before heading to Omaha beach and the US cemetery at Colleville. Afterwards we took a look around the Overlord Museum before heading for the Longues-sur-Mer battery overlooking Gold beach. Finally finishing up in Arromanches - site of the Mulberry Harbour
