Les Charrieres Country Hotel St. Peter

... Quite funny to go by and see all these lovely boats tiled over and waiting for water. Transportation is good once I figured it out. However sometimes the times between buses are a bit longer than I would have liked, still, I was able to move around quite easily once I figured out the bus stops had larger letters "BUS" on the pavement. So it is with sorrow that I leave after just a bit over 24 hours. another place that it is going to be necessary to return.

found out yesterday that sky europe has ceased its operations. just great. that is one leg we had flying from Prague to Venice so now i'll have to find another way and i'm sure it won't be as cheap. well, if that's the only problem i run into for 4 months, eh?...

Very early morning to get out of London to Gatwick and catch a flight to the Isle of Jersey. Plane wasn't full so didn't take long to get off and into the terminal. as I am deplaning, the guest in front of me has on no shoes nor is he carrying any. I have read about people who go barefoot no matter what and no matter where and I think he was one of them. He left the plane, walked across the tarmac, and through ...

We got on to the ferry to Saint Malo and Julz was feeling sea sick. Instead of sitting in our club class seats, she chose to spend an hour outside and then the rest of the journey in cattle class right at the back of the ferry!! Si was very supportive x

... the Hotel NH Caransa was located. The
Rembrandtplein is a great square with many cafes and restaurant
surrounding the square. We checked in around 10:00 am and took a
nap. We were moving by 2:00 pm and took the tram on a dry run to the
Avis rent a car office near Leidseplein to determine how long it
would take to get there on Thursday. We then walked around the
floating flower market and headed to Spui, a square with many pubs

... beautiful
day and had a nice breakfast. Whitford then took Sandy and I on
another tour of the island, stopping at the island's reservoir for a
nice view, we stopped at a German gun battery that had been
preserved after the war. It started to cloud up and was getting
cooler with the stiff breeze coming in off the Channel and I was
concerned with our plans for the rest of the day. Our plan was to
catch the 12:15 ferry to the adjacent island of Herm and have ...

Took another fast ferry over to Jersey just for the day. The island is beautiful and has a lot of shops and restaurants. First thing we did when we arrived was take one of those little city tours on one of the open air trolleys that look like trains. Then it was time to find some food. We ended up going to a quick sandwich shop and ...

... We saw some black tip sharks swim by. Unfortunately, the sediment in the water prevented any of the pictures from coming out very well. We got into decompression mode, and I was impressed that Sheri didn't have a problem with it. A 5 minute stop at 20 feet got us out of the deco zone. The currents weren't very strong, so we could go more slowly to look at the beautiful coral formations as we swam through them. Our last dive was at Columbia Shallows, which is a ...

... being built, which will be available in December. These are the top of the line. Lovely, spacious living and sleeping areas, modern kitchens and baths, luxurious furnishings, and a view of the Caribbean Sea just across the way. The weather was so nice, and the tide very calm, that after our tour we went down to the sea to frolic. The waves ushered in warm waters towards the shoreline as we donned our ...

... out on the patio. Michael decided that tonight's dinner would be one of his specialties - spaghetti with meat sauce, salad and garlic bread. So after a relaxing day and a fabulous "home" cooked meal, we enjoyed dessert from the restaurant, a movie and turned in early.
