Thursday, September 23rd
I decided to make today my travel day to head to the Normandy coast to see the D-Day landing sites. My other option was to head to Annecy for one more day of paragliding but after yesterday’s flight, I figured that was a damn good high note to finishing my European flying on.
I was on the road by about 9am and decided to take the Peage (the toll roads) for the first section of the route as it was narrow through the mountains and would have been one town after another on the alternate road. It was a nice driving day, not too hot but no rain...at least not until the evening.
As I neared Le Mans (yes, home to big time auto racing), there was a bit of a traffic jam as construction took the three lane highway down to one but then I was soon on another autoroute heading north towards Caen. The skies grew ominously grey and soon unleashed some rain. I finally pulled into an aire (a rest stop on the highway) and called it a day. It was 8pm was pleased with a 13 hour travel day and only about 100 km to get to the coast.
