Guernsey (St. Peter Port) - best excursion

[AJCM]

 Public Bus No 1 is a great route, for £1 when we did it a few years ago. About 1.5 - 2 hrs and a great scenic trip. From the tender, walk along the Main Street until you reach the bus terminus - you’ll know it when you get to it.

 

Cornet Castle - very good. Enjoyable walk to/fro the Castle and multiple buildings, many of which have substantial contents, focussing in WWII.

 

both the above very easy to do on your own and negligible cost; followed by a walk around this very pleasant town. Victor Hugo’s house need to have a time  pre-booked, so we didn’t get to visit - maybe next time. Parts of St Peter Port are very hilly, so you need to have good fitness to stroll further than the reasonably flat shopping streets.

Annette Henry’s tours are really good.  We enjoyed it a lot.

We also enjoyed a taxi tour with our roll call friend which was very reasonable and very good.  We basically saw everything and had time to enjoy it all.

 

St Peter Port is very pretty and historic and the people are warm and generous.  Enjoy 🙂

My main goal is to walk by Victor Hugo's house. Les Miserables' was required

reading in high school... and yes I read all 1500 pages.

And then I was thrilled when it became a stage musical.

I fell in love with it and always remembered it.

You can do that in the first 15 minutes on land. It is up a hill though.  It's right near the port, too. 

 

That leaves lots of time to explore!

Absolutely! I had been in contact with Steve Martin for this port. Of course, we will be

waiting for May 2022.
