Guernsey Day 6

I decided to visit some places I've never been to and to do it on foot. First stop Fermain Bay which is at the bottom of a steep hill... 



Fermain Bay. The old Martello tower is now available for self catering.





RFA Proteus.... 



So after a nice coffee I headed to Jerbourg




The Doyle monument built to honour Sir John Doyle a former Lieutenant Governor of Guernsey.





So after another coffee I headed to the Renoir Tea Garden.











Amazing views. Food a little overpriced.









I got back to the hotel and put my feet up.


I went for another stroll.







That viewing platform has great views.





Well home tomorrow.

Guernsey Day 5

 I had a plan for today but decided to leave until tomorrow.

So off to the west coast.

This makes me smile. You have a Napoleonic gun emplacement next to a 5000 year old Neolithic burial tomb and both are almost in someone's back garden!










I then drove to Fort Hommet and walked up to Grand Rocques and back supporting local businesses with drinks and food.













I had never noticed these fortifications before.



A sauna 😂😂















I then drove to Torteval had a coffee and did another wander. There were lots of Painted Lady butterflies.
