DAY 6 8 June Guernsey

Firstly, a stop at a local parish church of St Martin De La Bellouse which had a pre-Christian grave marker, with a Roman hairstyle but most likely even older. It cracked in the middle when they moved it to the outside of the consecrated church.

Next it was the enchanting Little Chapel, built entirely from seashells and broken ceramics, including Wedgewood.

Then onto the German Occupation Museum which was quite interesting and really well done for a private museum. Their tea and scones are great value.

We saw some of the German coastal fortifications.

This was a Martello Tower (Napoleonic Wars), built up by the Germans, you can tell by  the change in building materials.

We then had free time and visited the Castle Cornet. Luckily, entry to the museum was free today in honour of Queen Elizabeth II – thanks Liz. (this saved us £38!)

I doubt he is a relative but even so very brave as it wasn't a job with a long life expectancy.

Overlooking the coast from the Castle.

We had the opportunity to listen to a lady, Molly Bihet who lived through the occupation as a young girl.  It was incredibly interesting.

For dinner we found The Love Shack. Elizabeth had a chicken kebab while I had a lamb kebab. I think there was a lamb in it. Essentially it was a grated sheep. I estimated there was 400g of shaved meat. It could have fed both of us.
