| The only advantage of getting an early flight out is that you do get a large part of the day to do exploring. With the 9:40 flight touching down on-time and getting to the hotel a little after 11am, I had a full afternoon to start exploring Guernsey. Firs |

| First stop for the morning is Cobo bay, purely as this is where I need to change buses from the one that runs past the hotel to the 7A on the west coast. The bay itself is very pleasant with a wide sandy beach and beautiful scenery. |

| First stop for the morning was Fort Richmond, which looks quite similar to many of the forts on Alderney. Like most of the forts in Alderney it is not open to the public and in a state of decay! Nearby is more evidence of the length of time that humans ha |

| I had a couple of hours to kill before my flight so I left my bags at the hotel and wandered into town and out onto the pier before catching the bus up to the top of the hill that St Peter Ports is at the bottom of. The views from the top are spectacular |
