My website has taken on a Poppy theme following a brief visit to Normandy and the D-Day landing beaches.
My cousin Vincenzo and myself took the Newhaven to Le Havre ferry on a Friday and came back on a Sunday. We stayed with my friends Daniel and Chie.
It was a brief visit, but we greatly enjoyed the French food and hospitality provided by our hosts. It was also a great opportunity to get a rough idea about the history of D-Day. We managed to visit every beach quickly, the Airborne museum, as well as the major British, American and German cemetaries in the area. With so much to see and learn it deserves much more than a weekend to explore properly, and I am sure that some day I will be back in Normandy to explore in more depth.

Ive been on the Newhaven-Le Harve ferry journey before and its one of my favourites, along with the dfds from newcastle to amsterdam  - for slightly different reasons!
