Herm; Saturday, 03 August, 2019

I had a bit of lie in, though I couldn’t stay in that late given the hotel only served breakfast until 10:30. After a not particularly great breakfast I headed back to my room and picked up a towel, some sunscreen and my tablet.

I’d decided that today was mostly going to be about relaxing and as the weather was set fair I headed down to the very quiet Mouisonniere beach and spent quit a bit of the day sat in some shade reading.

Eventually the battery in my tablet got to a critical stage, and by now the vast majority of the day trippers were already heading back to Guernsey, so I headed back to my room to charge my tablet. I then picked up my camera and headed out to finish off my walk around the island by taking the cliff-top walk around the southern half of Herm.

It was an absolutely beautiful early evening and the light was close to perfect for taking pictures, which meant that rather than the 60 minutes or so it should have taken me to walk from the harbour round to Shell Beach it actually ended up taking me nearly 2 hours.

By this point it was getting close to the time I had a table reserved in the Ship Inn so I decided to take a short cut across the common back to my room, rather than continue exploring across the common.

I quickly dropped my camera off in my room and then headed over to the pub for a dinner which was considerably better than the breakfast had been before returning to my room and turning in for the night.
