A few more photos from Guernsey seem to be required because I put so many of London on that last post. We were on Guernsey for 7 full days, after all. So here you are:

On my first day there we saw these cruise ships as soon as we came out of our B&B. There was a delightful "Taste of Guernsey" fete going on in downtown St. Peter Port and we were asked repeatedly, "Are you from the boat?" We loved answering no!

This is the "Town Church." It's Anglican, old and beautiful, and sits right downtown in St. Peter Port.

London isn't the only place with row houses. What fascinated me was the number of flues in these chimneys: the ones in the center had 16 each! When you realize that each connected to a fireplace you realize how much nicer central heating is!

We were a little lost when we came upon this home. We were walking, after having stumbled on the Dehus dolmen, looking for another very old site so we were in the north of the island. This was a stable, we discovered, but it had been a veg-grower in the past. The island covered with glass greenhouses: Guernsey used to grow zillions of tomatoes in them. Then the market went kaput in the 1970s and they now all stand abandoned. The interior of the island is slowly (probably not so slowly soon) being bought up by the uber-rich who shelter their £s there; Guernsey is the Cayman Island for England. But the people who have houses with a greenhouse just let them fill up with weeds, some of their windows are missing, and we were wondering if there wasn't some way to use the greenhouses somehow.

A parrot tulip about 10" across. Because of its island climate, plants grow like crazy here.

An okay shot that shows just what a bustling port St. Peter Port is. There was constant boat traffic; it was so much fun to be there!

A bit of a bay on the isle of Herm. I loved the tchotchkes that had "Herm is where the heart is," and "There's no place like Herm." (But I didn't buy any. Should have, I think!)

This was on Herm. We had no idea what it was; it had a little window opposite the door but nothing else. Just another old, weird construction. It wasn't alone!

These little alleys serve as streets in the oldest part of St. Peter Port. This shot was taken a few steps down from the top of a stairway with landings that led down to the main street that ran along the water. The sign is for a bakery/sandwich shop called The Roll Bar. Pretty clever.

This building was the market in St. Peter Port for a long time. When it was no longer used for that, the unwise city fathers sold it to private interests who immediately closed it up and the public no longer has access to it. Too bad; it would be a very nice covered market again.

A small garden on Victor Hugo's property. There is apparently another very large one nearby. We missed it.

The "Cup and Saucer" fort. It now houses The Shipwreck Museum, which was very interesting. Circular, of course. It's known for being a place to take great photos of the area.

My attempt at a great photo from the grounds of the Cup and Saucer.

And my last shot posted of Guernsey. Now you can go to bed and sleep like a baby; the slide show of "My Vacation" is over. Thanks for looking at it!
