D day landing beaches

Today we toured the Canadian landing sites of Juno Beach of June 1944.
Our tour guide, an Anglo/Irish man named Ed, spent the entire day with us and took us to places we would never have seen without him. He had many stories to share and his passion for history and particularly WWII , was evident. Many of the stories were disturbing and emotional.
Ed is quite a character and if you are looking for the politically correct tour guide, he would not be your man but we enjoyed his candid expressions. We told him ahead of time that we were interested in Canadian sites and he focussed our day on just that, taking us to The Juno Beach Memorial Centre, Juno Beach landing site, the site where the Queens own rifles landed,the Canadian War Cemetery at Beny sur Mer (which isn't very sur Mer) and Abbey D'Ardene. In between visiting all these major sites, he showed us bunkers, tanks and pillboxes, all with a story. The design of these German bunkers was nothing like we have seen from North American media which surprised us
Today was really Bob's day. He and Ed climbed in and out of bunkers, down farmers fields and up onto tanks like kids .
Tomorrow we head to Omaha Beach and to the American sites.
