Arriving in St. Peter Port, Guernsey


The last port of call before returning to Amsterdam is St. Peter Port on Guernsey.  It’s part of the Channel Islands off the coast of England and France in the English Channel.  The ship is anchored this morning because it is a tender port.  I will be taking a walking tour of the town in a couple of hours.  It’s a beautiful day in the English Channel.
The island of Guernsey is associated with the UK, but is independent with its own currency.

The crew is getting the tender boats ready for the day.

Ready to tender, and the pilot boat is off.

St. Peter Port's castle dates back to the 13th century.
