Another Cruise: Back to British Soil, sort of.

Our final stop on the cruise had us spending the day at Guernsey. If you have never heard of this place, it's because it is small with very little to see and do. The main draw would be to go there to shop (no VAT).  

An old watch tower to keep the French out. I presume. 
This was probably the best find while walking the town. We did get our salad in Guernsey. 

As you can see, it is not very busy. This is a main street.
The mailboxes are blue instead of red. 
 I think the highlight of Guernsey was the tender ride from the ship to shore.  It was our first time riding in these tiny little boats.  We also got to see parts of the ship that are not usually accessible.
Tender boat.
A hall.
We also decided to use this opportunity to take a selfie with the future queen. 
Guernsey is a bit more interesting from afar. 

 Our last formal night had us eating like gluttons. The options were the lobster or the steak. We all did both. We also ordered another serving of lobster. It was so yummy!
All of our various plates. 
Then it was time to dance!
I highly recommend Cunard Cruise lines.  There were plenty of activities to keep busy with, the food was fab, the service was wonderful, beds were comfy...

I also recommend travelling with Ben and Rea!  They were fun, played trivia, were great at locating bars, didn't complain while on my "walking tours," and enjoyed using bad table manners in order to annoy Shea!
