Museum closed - boring day in the mall

We hoped to see the 39-45 Memorial Museum in Calais and despite saying it’s open online it was not. It’s a German bunker from WW2 which never got hit by allied bombing.

CJ had the Poutine, a skillet of fries covered in cheese sauce with sausage and onion. Both were yummy.Read more
