Channel Islands - Guernsey and Sark - Sept. 14-18, 2018

A really lovely island!

German fortifications on Guernsey

Over 800 fortifications were built by the Germans on the little island!

Built to last!

The Little Chapel built with broken pieces of china


A 38 mile hiking trail will take you all around the island with breathtaking scenery

Renoir was inspired and painted by this view at Moulin Huet Bay during his visit to Guernsey

Beautiful beaches in Guernsey

The home on this island is owned by the government and you can rent it.  When the tide is out you can walk to it from Guernsey. It lies in between the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean, a popular spot for birdwatchers



We took a ferry to the island of Sark, the third largest island - no cars - you can only travel by foot, bicycle or horse.   It was also occupied by the Germans.

Hydrangeas grow wild here





Beautiful area on Sark - La Coupee
