Today we went to Elizabeth Castle which is built on a rock in St Aubin's Bay and is more then 400 years old! As the tide was still out we walked over along a causeway but the tide was fully in on the way back so we had to go on the ferry which was a combination of both boat and bus - very strange.
The castle was very interesting as you were able to climb all over the castle, and there was also a museum which told you the history of the castle but it was so WINDY and cold - of course me and Peter hadn't really dressed for the weather (wishful thinking as the sun was out when we first got up).

We then went in to St Helier and had a look round the shops and had lunch overlooking the harbour. As it kept raining on and off we decided to go to the cinema in the afternoon. Driving back to St Brelade's Bay we go stuck in the 'rush hour' which is probably the busiest we have seen on the roads so far in Jersey! In the evening we went to a restaurant that is opposite to where we are staying called Oyster Box where we had a lovely meal - I had seafood risotto and Peter had lobster pasta which was a nice end to the day.
