Last day in Guernsey. Quite happy to leave the Saints Bay Hotel which, despite its lovely location, was disappointing in terms of service. Walked along the lane and got rained on heavily till I got to La Barbarie where Mason had hired a car. After breaking into someone-else's car we found the right one. Back to the S.B. Hotel to collect my case and then off on a day of adventures with Toby and Romy. Drove to the north of the island to see the dolmen (see pics in separate entry for today).
After this we drove to Chouet Bay which was sunny and the sea blue with white horses. Watched some amazing paragliding surfers launching themselves into the air and then land on their surfboards. Mum went for a paddle and then we had a coffee in the beach cafe watching sparrows taking dustbaths.
Later we went to Oatlands to look at giftshops and have a meal in a hot restaurant then off for a drive through the middle of the island before stopping at the Little Chapel which is beautiful to photograph. Built in 1914, mainly from broken china. Then off to the airport via the Strawberry centre featuring Aubrey the Strawberry, and the woodcraft centre.
Sad to say goodbye to the family and leave Guernsey. The flight however was very comfortable and it took off at 6.00pm. I was at home in Brighton by 7:45pm. Not bad!
Went out with Anton this evening for a quick and cheeky beer in the Eddy, as I didn't want the holiday feeling to end. He told me that there was something in the newspaper in Brighton about a seagull stealing someone's mobile phone. Feels quite nice to be home. Below, the main altar at the Little Chapel.
