What a beauty. Riding on the coastline around Omaha Beach on perfect gravel, cliffs and hardly anybody around. Ended in Port en Bessin which was a great small harbour village. Great campsite as well with a group of very friendly campers who invited me for dinner. And coffee in the morning. Very much appreciated! Day 59 I skipped here, only a short bike ride, followed by a train ride, ending at a very unfriendly gite host. Main reason was rain. Rained a lot.

Day 61

A lot of clouds! But beautiful and enjoyable. The houses changed a lot! Right from fairytales or scary movies. Lots of tiny details and all look interesting. I drove by what must have been the worlds most impressive minigolf court in Carbourg. Very impressive, even I was tempted. I’m hunting for some days already some Schwalbe tires, which is super hard! Specially to get the same ones, mostly they have only one. Didn’t manage, they are now different, but I indulged myself and got them installed. After all, I did a 12km detour!
