Guernsey Day 4 - Herm Island

Date: 30 July 2009 21:46:41

Another marvellous day. The Mister and I took a trip over to Herm Island along with my Mum and Auntie Josie. We also met up with my cousin Dan, his wife and their kids as they are staying in their permanent tent over there.

So, we got the 10.15am boat from Guernsey to Herm and then walked around half the island before finding our way to the gorgeous Belvoir Bay where we had lunch and sat for several hours. We had a little bit of peace and quiet before the rest of the tribe descended but it was gorgeous. We went swimming in the coldest water ever and just chilled out. Herm has no cars on the island, just a few 4 wheeled motorbikes to take the goods and luggage to the various self-catering accommodation. It is covered with bracken, gorse and other hardy plants. It can be a pretty windy island and in the winter I imagine it is a pretty bleak place to live.

I love Herm. It is probably one of my favourite places in the whole world and even these pictures will not demonstrate just how beautiful it is.
