What's Jersey Like?

We went in February and had a great time. The zoo is fun, and we went on a tour of some bunkers with Jersey War Tours. Swam in the tidal pool. Didn't have a chance to go to the underground war tunnels but would do that next time.

We had a great night out starting in JBs but I think it might be closed now, playing table tennis and making friends with the bar woman and the only other 2 people in there who turned out to be policeman. The bar woman kept giving us pickle backs, then we went to Tiki hut and played pool really badly. It was rough the next day. But we've still got a group WhatsApp going.

Go to the beaches, the waters lovely right now. Trick is to go to a beach on the opposite side the wind is blowing from.

Great bus service.

Yeah, the plan is to get a family bus pass for the week as it'll be cheaper than car hire
 
Do they have the same weird traffic law they have on Guernsey where you have to treat every junction as a roundabout, even though they don’t have mini roundabouts painted on the road?

Probably why the hire cars have big H markers on them.
 
I went over a couple of times for a weekend back in my early twenties and they were fun weekends although I didn’t get to see much of the island. A few years ago my family and I spent ten days there and it was a lovely holiday.

I’m not mad about zoo’s but we spent five days camping there in massive tents with proper beds, own bathrooms and kitchenette. Pricey but a great experience other than in the middle of the night being woken by the screaming Macaques. I thought there was a serial killer on the loose!

Also visited an ancients burial mound with a church built above on a hill. German Hospital was eerie but interesting and sad.

There are some really good restaurants in St Helier and lovely beaches.

Next time I want to see the Neanderthal caves by St Brelade and stop off in Alderney

There is more to do and see than I imagined.

Oh is that how you drove around Guernsey 🤣 please warn me if you ever come back!
 
I don't usually do this kind of post but if you like spicy food that's also unbelievably tasty get something from MOMO in St. Helier. I just had chilli beef chow mein and even though I went "safe" with medium hot it was fucking mental. Gorgeous. Almost died. Would eat again 10/10
