Falaise Memorial
We left the cottage around 9:30am on
Wednesday the 2nd of August, heading for Falaise on the way to the ferry
at Dieppe. We were visiting Château de Falaise, the home castle of William the Conqueror,
connecting with our Bayeux tappestry visit of earlier in the holiday.
Just next to the Château was another museum with a Sherman tank
outside. I took a few pictures before we finally left the area, heading
for the ferry port. We made it back to England late that evening and
stayed overnight in Portsmouth.

August 3rd
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard
The following morning, we went to
the Historic Dockyard to visit the Mary Rose, HMS Victory, HMS Warrior
and HMS M.33. HMS Queen Elizabeth was also in port, making a striking
contrast with the earlier flagships. We stayed overnight one more night
and drove North to home on Friday 3rd.
