Boy's thoughts on the first few days

On Wednesday we visited the Pegasus memorial museum on the river Orne. This is where the original bridge was kept. It was an excellent presentation, with amazing detail. The nice tour guide told and showed us that three gliders set out to capture what is now\ known as Pegasus Bridge. The plan went very well except for the fact that one glider got lost along the way and when to a completely different Nazi occupied bridge which, because their mission was to capture a bridge, they captured. This could be forgiven because it was at night a many Nazi bridges looked the same. She also told us that only one person was killed during this daring raid. Next she took us onto the original bridge. This was ridden with bullet and places where the explosives from the Nazis were kept there where also many wrecked structures of the gliders which had crashed, trying to capture the bridge. After we looked at the structure at the bridge we went and had fizzy drinks at the local cafe. Then we went to a fascinating museum which the whole 2nd world war into context. We also watched a fascinating film about the 2nd world war. Then we went back to the hotel and the park, and then we watched the football. It was a great day.
