There's really not much to say about our day in Guernsey. Because space was extremely limited on the ship's tours we were unable to book anything as we had waited too long to make our choice. We didn't arrive at St. Peter Port until the afternoon of May 27th and the sky was an ominous shade of grey. Fortunately by the time we were able to catch a tender to shore the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining brightly. As time was somewhat limited we had the choice of either walking around the harbour to the castle or climbing up to the intriguing looking spires which rose above the town at the top of the hill. We decided to be adventurous and explore the town. The spires turned out to be part of the college, so mystery solved! We spent a pleasant two hours wandering through narrow residential streets and down through the main shopping area of the town, and then enjoyed some time sitting on a bench beside the water watching the comings and goings in the busy harbour. Guernsey is a lovely, peaceful and picturesque island and would make a great holiday destination in the future.
