Arrived back from my adventure in Jersey. I set off on the 16th Feb at about 5am and arrived in Weymouth at 8am and caught the ferry to St Helier. I stayed in the Monacco hotel which was very nice in an attic room overlooking the pleasant Regency street.
Over the five days I hired a bike and cyled around the Island. On the Sunday I cycled out to Sion in the centre of the Island where I was welcomed by most of the congregation and the minister of the URC chapel. However I got there early and had a wander around the area on my bike. The minister introduced me to everybody too. After that I dashed across the fields over to the Durrel Zoo where I was very impressed by the conservation ethos and nearly fancied booking a place in a pen myself.
I then cycled off to Rozell and along the coast learning that cycling along the northern coast is a bit of a job as you have to go down all the time to the beaches.
The next day I set off for Gorey and passed Le Hougie thingy which was a stone age thing. However I took a short cut down a lane and found Le Pouguelaye a Dolman which stood over the bay and really had an atmosphere. I then cycled up to Rozell again via St Martins and was impressed again although all the cycling was beginning to take its toll. In the evening I saw No Country for Old which I rather liked recieved a 8/10 rating.
Following day I travelled to Plemont and stopped at Greve De Lecq and chatted to an old lady about Hens eggs e.t.c. Finished the day at Grosnez point. In the evening I watched in the Valley Of Elah.
During the evenings I had my meals at a cafe in Parade Street owned by a retired trucker called Brian who talked more than he cooked and kept all his customers waiting but was very friendly.
On the final day I visited Jersey Musueam and then made my way to Ferry for crossing back to the UK.
