Flew out to Guernsey, which was ok and then caught the no. 7 bus... well we were supposed to get off at Port Serif but there's no sign, no indication, and very little in the way of recognisable bus stops so we missed it by... well shall we say 2 stops, it was just too far to walk back. Well I asked in the hotel, caught the bus back to the, erm, car park sort of big space and got off. It doesn't look far on the map, and the lady who stopped us (dead obvious tourist as we had suitcases with us) said it was about 10-15 minute walk.... plus the other 30 mins she obviously forgot about!
Sunny so not much complaints except it got hot. Well we finally got to the Lodge, it's rather a pub with a few rooms on the side - think the other half was disappointed with that but it was within our budget, and the "inn keeper" was kind enough to take us to the car hire - after that walk and bus trip it's best to have a car in Guernsey... unless you really like cycling and really really really like walking!
Drove to St Peter's Port (The Town), where we walked round and then had lunch. Walked round the sea front some more enjoying the scene, smelling the smells and wondering at the lack of certain big named shops. Looked through some tourist brochures and decided what to do. Walked up to the Underground Military Hospital... it was closed. Climbed up the cliff path to the military post and looked round.. rather quickly as it started to rain.
Went and had a look round the Little Chapel, then the clockmaker's... which was closed. So we carried on up the road to the Silver and Goldsmiths... which was... you guessed, closed, and so is the woodcarvers down the road.
Well we gave up on indoors and went to the battery and watchhouse in Pleinmount except I'm not really up for walking much.
Drove around some till we found a spot for dinner then realised that as its dark outside there's no street lamps to read the map by - oh what fun we're going to have!
