Today's weather has been a complete contrast to yesterday - it has been wet and drizzling all day! I had planned for us to go to the north coast of the island to do a long walk but that was out of the question so we decided to go to the Jersey War Tunnels instead.........along with the rest of Jersey as it was a nightmare to park and was really busy inside!
The Jersey War Tunnels tells the story of Islanders under Occupation - it was originally intended to be a barracks and ammunition store for the occupying forces and the museum told the story of how all sides coped under the conditions and dealt with the daily dilemmas that they faced. It was very interesting although it did get a bit chilly in the tunnels.

It was still raining when we left the tunnels, and had turned quite cold, so we drove to St Ouens Bay on the west coast. The bay is 5 miles long and is one of Jersey's most popular beaches, especially with surfers as the bay has huge waves rolling in from the Atlantic. We went to one of the beach cafes there and watched the people surfing whilst having our lunch. We tried to brave the rain to walk along the beach but it was too much but we will definitely come back on a nicer day!
