What it actually feels like
This is the most serious day we run, and we run it with the dignity it requires. Hotel pickup at seven. Two hours at the Caen Memorial first to set the war in context, then west to the beaches.
Omaha Beach: a clifftop briefing, then time on the sand where the US 1st and 29th Divisions came ashore on June 6, 1944. The American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer with its 9,388 white crosses. A moment of silence. The Garden of the Missing.
Pointe du Hoc next — original craters, original German bunkers, the cliff the 2nd Rangers Battalion scaled under fire. Nothing here has been reconstructed. We end in Arromanches at the Mulberry Harbour: a working artificial port the Allies built in seventy-two hours, parts of which are still in the bay.
