Bayeux, today 19th of April.

Today we finished off our trip by going to Bayeux, to see the Tapestry and have lunch before we headed home. This was my second visit, but this time it was calm and I had the chance to do some drawings directly from the Tapestry, which I will publish later. I love Bayeux, the architecture and the atmosphere.

The Tapestry is in here, for me they had updated all of the spaces, inside the museum. You couldn't take photos inside, (but soon I will add some drawings).

After, I was on kid duty...someone was hungry.

While I was searching for an atm, sandwiches, baguettes and honey.

"Chemin de Fer", at Clercy, on Friday the 18th of April.

Here we are at a train place...35km from Caen.

Where the small train sleeps...

The man started building a small selection of model trains, but now has 310 square meters.

Very European looking architecture.

Mmm trains...

Here is the train boy, he just loves trains...he was running up and down to see everything.

Everything lights up and moves...

A smoking factory.

Hubby has that train!

The gardens were relaxing and calm.

Boys on the train.

Mmm the blow-up-train-jumping-castle... both boys spent over two hours jumping on it.

The small train we went on.

Caen, Friday the 18th of April.

This was hubby and my second visit to Caen, but when you have kids, you get to do other things...like hang out at the playgrounds, find toilets, watch workmen clean monuments and run after your kids...

The Castle on top of the hill, inside there is a few things to see, (like a couple of museums and art gallery) but this time I got to hang out at the playground, find food and toilets.

St Peters cathedral.

Heading towards the entrance gate.

View outside the walls.

Boys...

The walls.

Here is the playground, both boys played here for hours.

Rocks pretending to be a crepe.

Jumping...

Landing...

Rocks on a Fox!

Herbal medicine garden.

They are still restoring this church.

No chins please!

Still playing with my camera.

A cheeky sausage, I like to run from my mum, watch street sweepers and workmen cleaning monuments.

Ouistreham Beach. Thursday the 18th of April.

First thing to do at the beach was to catch a ride...

Love the expressions...

The tide was out, it was hot (+20°c), and all of the boys had a great time.

This is one of the D-Day beaches...Ouistreham.

Time to go, it was 6pm and getting a bit cold. Everyone was sandy...here below, is a link from my other blog, of some artworks, that I drew while I was there.
