Got back home at 01.30, just woken up…
My observations:
Guernsey is GORGEOUS, I really liked Jersey, but Guernsey definitely edges it for me. We were very lucky with the weather, it was the best day of the summer so far.
We ate a full English in White Rock Cafe as recommended by UncleFred and as promised it was full of dockers! We walked past Christies a short while later, looks very smart…think I’ll save that for when I go back.
There were a staggering number of absolutely beautiful women out and about, is it always like that in Guernsey?!
Hopped on the 7a and got off at Vason, Cobo, Pembroke and explored some of the German gun emplacements/coastal fortifications.
Castle Cornet was great, spent a few hours there in the evening whilst waiting for the return ferry. There was a KPMG sponsored concert on under the name Castle Nights, mainly covers bands, but perfect end to th e day and a really nice atmosphere.
Is there a substantial Portuguese community on Guernsey? I know that they form about 10% of the population of Jersey and there were beautiful olive skinned women all over the place. Lots of Australians too, both working in bars and smartly dressed types who looked like they may have worked in the finance sector.
We went to a great little bar that had just opened, just down the road from the war memorial in St Peter Port, chatted to lots of nice people…actually, everyone was really friendly. There seemed to be a great sense of community.
What’s with Breda lager being everywhere? My friend thought it was local until I told him it was Dutch. It was on tap everywhere we went!
I can see how it could get really claustrophobic for those just hitting adulthood, but it seemed like it would be a lovely place to grow up.
I’m going back in month or so to visit Alderney and Sark.
