Jersey - Day 5

Today we toured the northern coast of Jersey - starting off at the north east corner and going along the coast to the West.  Our first stop was Bouley Bay which has a small harbour and stony beach.  We had to drive down a long winding hill to get there and, when we arrived, we found there wasn't much down there but it was very pretty!

Our next stop was Bonne Nuit Bay which is a small fishing harbour - the road down to the bay really put my driving skills to the test as it was not only very winding but also very steep!!  It was a lot easier going back up. We stopped at the little cafe there and sat outside having a drink looking over the harbour and watching the fisherman coming in.

We then drove on to Sorel Point, the most northerly tip of the Island.  We could see France to the right of us and the Island of Sark very clearly directly in front of us.

Peter looked at the map and said that Devil's Hole, which is a natural crater in the cliff measuring 100ft across and plunging 200ft down, was probably only half a mile away and suggested that we walk along the north coast path to get there. We really enjoyed the walk but after nearly an hour, and with Peter constantly saying 'it is just behind this bend/over this hill' to me, we still hadn't got there and I was starting to flag!  Peter suggested walking up one last hill to see if we could see it, and when we got to the top we could see it in the distance and decided that it wasn't worth the extra walk and turned back to the car. Along the walk my text kept going off and I was getting texts from T-Mobile welcoming me to Guernsey and France even though we hadn't left Jersey!

Our final destination of the day is Greve De Lecq which is a very pretty, small beach.  We enjoyed exploring the north coast especially as it was our first sunny day since Saturday!
