After a 17-hour-ferry-ride which wasn’t as bad as we expected, we arrived in Cherbourg, Normandy. France re-welcomed us with beautiful weather. We spent the first afternoon at a great spot right by a beach. The atmosphere was a bit weird – the setting was stunning but there were clear “left-overs” from World War II. The…
