Nimrod's Adventures

It was only a short trip from Guernsey to Sark, although the tide always makes it interesting. Once we arrived in the Greve de la Ville bay we were amazed by the beautiful cliffs of Sark. Laying, quite, comfortably on a mooring we spent the first couple of hours just enjoying the view of our boat. If it were up to Bart we would have stayed on the boat for the rest of the day, because why not? The view was gorgeous and our books were good. Yet, I dragged Bart along, after a steep climb, to the so called Window in the Rock. Which I thought was some sort of small version of Stonehenge. Unfortunately, we never found it.

Luckily, 1) the hike around the northern part of the island was beautiful. The roads aren't paved since motorized vehicles are not allowed on the island. Main ways of transportation therefore are bikes and tractors (exceptions are made to be able to work the land but aka drive around the island).

And 2) we were walking in the complete opposite directions because little Stonehenge actually is called Sark Henge and is located on the east of the island instead of west, in which direction we had been walking.

Lucky for us the Isle of Sark isn't that large do we changed course towards Sarkhenge and scanned our options for a nice bar to spend our last Guernsey pounds along the way. Sarkhenge turned out to be quite the anticlimax. It was very small and built in 2015 as a henge monument, nothing historic about it.

The views of Derrible Bay, where Sarkhenge is located, however were stunning. We were very happy we had come. On our way back to the boat we made a stop at the The Old Hall Sark to try and spend our last Guernsey pounds on some ales. We were in luck that after our detours we arrived at happy hour, so the pints (so large!) were cheap 😏 With some help from a local lady, 30p, we were even able to share another pint and finish all of our pounds! We definitively have Bart's blue eyes to thank for that.

The night was very rolly and not very comfortable. On top of that, the wind would shift the following evening. So in the morning we left beautiful bay 1 and arrived in beautiful bay 2: Dixcart Bay.Читать далее
