Solo Adventures in Jersey (day 3)

Another sunny morning. I was meeting Leilah this morning, sister of a friend from home.

I wandered round to Howard Davis Park where we met along with her daughter Tallulah, only 5 months old.

Tallulah rocking her new hat and hiding from the sunshine!

We set off on a Wee walk (which wasn’t so wee by the end of the day!), down to the piers and along the coast to St Aubin, stopping for an ice cream along the way. One of us had much more raspberry sauce that the ice cream could handle!!

We watched the racehorses practicing on the beach for their upcoming season and the ferry in the distance that connects France, Guernsey and England with Jersey.

After a Wee Costa stop in St Aubin we headed along an old railway trail past St Brelade and out to the lighthouse at Corbiere.

From here we backtracked along the railway path to collect Leilah’s other 2 from school, and proceeded to the Elephant park, named that due to there being an elephant slide there!

After more ice cream I parted company and jumped on the bus back to St Helier, not taking into consideration that there is such a thing as rush hour traffic on the island!

As I stepped off the bus I was chatting to a lovely lady who had just flown in from Ireland. She was here on her own so we decided to head for something to eat together.

We walked through the tunnel, holding our breath as much as possible as it wasn’t very well ventilated and full of traffic. From there we continued round the coast to the outdoor swimming pool where I waited on her checking into her accommodation.

A few doors down was a quaint wee Portuguese restaurant where we dined and blethered. Not being adventurous I opted for the safe option of spaghetti Bolognese!

After tea We dipped our feet in the sea and wandered back around the coast to the docks just missing the sunset. Then from town we headed out to Howard Davis Park and parted company.

After having walked over 25km in the glorious sunshine I nursed my many blisters and crashed out!
