[Koff] When I was 15 I saved up and went. with a friend. to Paris with the plan to cycle from Paris to Cherbourg. We were very very organised but I remain astonished that our parents let us do it.
I talked my father one day through the reoute and the details. We were staying one night in a place called Bolbec. He went misty eyed and wandered off. He was involved in the Normandy invasions of 1944.
The next day he took me on one side. "I was in Bolbec in 1944. The locals made us very welcome
If, while you are there you see someone who looks like you, please ignore them."
It took me ages to work it out

btw you cannot cycle that far without knowing how to cook. CHerbroug Hospital is very comfy
