Trinity (Day 5)

With only two full days left of our holiday, we need to up our game if we were to see as much of the island as possible. Our time in Jersey has been relaxed and slow. Our airbnb set near the north coast has become a haven, quiet and comfortable. Some people might like to squeeze fluffy towels into their suitcase to take home, Angela's wondering if she could squeeze the mattress of the bed into Madge. She's never slept so well.

First place to visit on today's list, Devils Hole. As we descended a winding path, passing a bronze statue of, the devil himself we were afforded views across the sea to the other islands, Sark, Herm, Alderney and Guernsey.


The devils hole, measures 100 feet across and plunges 200 feet ft down.  A dramatic sight created by the erosion of the sea. The whole of the north coast of the island presents dramatic cliffs of uniform rock in varying states of drama.



After stopping at Greve de Lecq, a small sandy bay flanked by the familiar concrete German fortifications found across the islands, we headed to Plemont Bay where the tide was on the turn giving way to large crashing waves. The cliffs above the bay are home to 250 pairs of puffins from March. Sadly, we were too early to see them. Well, saying that we did stumble upon a couple on the cliff top.

What a day, lots to see, lots of walking, and time to sit just taking in the view. Come on guys. Get out there. Book your ferry or flight, or pack up your car and get on with your adventures.
