03/06/2022 - Here we Caen.
A 3am start and 122 miles later we arrive at Portsmouth harbour to catch the ferry to Caen. But no trip doesn’t have it story of inconveniences. My father had mentioned about the 3rd Covid jab and that I’ll likely need one… which I assumed I’d didn’t as I’d had 2 already. Cut a long story short 2 security refusals and a panic drive to get a bespoke lateral flow test, we managed to board the ferry after the 3rd attempt.
Surrounded by WW2 willies jeeps driven by enthusiasts wearing officer garments, You can definitely tell it’s the D-Day anniversary week. The ferry trip itself is about 6 hours long, but feels a lot longer with lack of decent entertainment and mediocre food. Luckily I had my work laptop, so i could crack on with outstanding jobs.
We disembark the ferry and head to accommodation located at Golf Omaha Beach just west of Port-en-Bessin-Huppain. Here we had a mooch around the fishing town(s) Port-en-Bessin and Huppain are actually two towns. Interestingly a battle took place here between the 7-8 June June 1944 where Royal marine commandos were tasked to capture the fortified port as part of operation overlord.
As a result the commandos had 136 casualties (46 killed, 70 wounded). We were fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time witnessing a flyby of a Dakota - Douglas C47 which was pretty rad. The ports bars/restaurants were brimmed with WW2 soldiers and officers with GMC and Chevy trucks parked outside.. it was impressive.
We head back to the hotel, consume wheat beer and an artisan 3 course meal. Today wasn’t even the start of the WW2 tour.. the real fun begins tomorrow.
