- Come with us to the Channel Islands, in our brand new series!
We'll be exploring the delights of Jersey, Guernsey, and Sark in future episodes, with this first one focusing on making it to the island of Jersey, and exploring St Helier, the capital.
We check out the awesome Maritime Museum and wander round in a desperate search for some lunch whilst being absolute knackered from being up for over 24 hours...how hard can it be?!
Check out our Instagram to see what we're up to!

Lovely - you are both so good natured, some would be pulling their hair out by now! Bouley Bay is beautiful - when we stayed there (some years ago, though) the bus took us straight there - obviously not sure of which part you were staying, or if the bus route has changed, but it's a lovely place. Going back to Jersey soon - really love it there x
Ah thank you! The bay is absolutely stunning, and as we found to our great pleasure, there IS a direct bus route to/from, although you just need to check the timings to make sure it picks you up from the bottom of the hill. It's the #4 if memory serves (you'll see us catch it at the start of some of our other videos). If only we'd known that for the first day!
Enjoy your trip, we hope you have a great time!!
if you had bypassed the stairs, you could have taken the Carpark lift and escalator up to the front entrance to Fort Regent.
I use to work on the amphibious ferry's going to Elizabeth Castle and I can assure you that they are as stable as a boat. you can even turn the engine off and it wont capsize in the water. when the tide is up, the beach is 16 meters below the ferry.
Jersey has the third fastest moving current in the World, at around a foot per minute. so you need to know the tide times if going to the castle or if you go walking out to rocky outcrops, as the tide can incircle you.
the Cabin at the Maritime Museum rocks gently, when it is working. the emergency stop is only there for wheelchairs to get on and off if rocking.
the granite building with the woodwork painted blue behind the Liberation Statue, was the Organization Todt offices in WWII. the Pomme D'or Hotel across the road to the right was the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) HQ.
If only we'd known about the escalator!!! Oh well! We knew the tide was huge, but 16m underneath the ferry's really puts it into perspective, given how 'shallow' the beach looks to the naked eye. Thanks for the info!
