Thursday Driving across flat farming country to Bayeux. Raining . Combined ticket for bayeux tapestry and musee do beaux artes ( 12€), Bayeux tapestry on a very very long, continuous scroll ; audio guide telling the tale of King Edward, brother Harold ,William of Normandy and illegitimate Norwegian son Harald culminating in the battle of Hastings in 1066 . Normandy-centric account, under pinning message of tapestry a moral imperative to the masses, don't break your oath to God...
Also visited Bayeux cathedral and Musee de Beaux artes. On to friend Anne's gite, not far from Bayeux and Omaha beaches , very poignant to see the flat lands , and the cemetries as we travel down the coast. Aired Anne's gite as requested, very peaceful countryside setting,
