Ah a place on my 'to visit' list- land of long ago ancestors. A three hour rainy ferry ride from Poole was not the best- but we had a hire car ready and then to find Le Chene- our hotel.
Today we went exploring- such tiny roads- such fabulous houses- here is Fort Hemmet- German occupied Guernsey WW2.
Then on to Castle Cornet at St.Peter Port. Looking back from the Castle to Guernsey.
Even beautiful gardens at the top!
More views from the Castle.
Such atmosphere.
Guernsey a delight!
