As the guide book says it's a bit like Aldernay so after moules frites dinner on ashore on Wednesday we hire bicycles and a car and set off around the island - ending up on an idyllic beach for bracing swims, sandcastles and pizza (?). Rob really slipped off his healthy eating perch today. I found him on the beach with a tin of kronnie in one hand and one of Monsieur Vatsdomino's house specials (large) in the other. Fortunately we arrived in time to save him and polish off the remaining slices! Sue had a crack on the bike and eureka we've found the form of exercise that will suit her repairing achilles and involve the whole families as Arthur and Millie "love" the 'suivre' - that this the long attachment thing you put on the back of your Dad'd bike that makes him go really slowly up and down hills.
Day polished off with numerous drinks and barbecued langoustine and a bottle of Chablis care of the skipper! Tough day.
beautiful beach and a refreshing sea!
