Today we made our way to St. Peter’s Port, Guernsey. Guernsey is the second largest island In the Channel Islands. It was invaded and occupied during the Second World War and liberated on May 9
th, 1945. One of the historical novels “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society,” and the film adaptation was based on the life of the people during that time.
Castle Cornet In Guernsey, Dad decided to join us for our adventure. We checked out the nearby Castle Cornet where there is a firing of the gun at noon every day.
The Little Chapel After the Castle, we took bus 71 to the Little Chapel at my request. The Little Chapel was created by Brother Deodat. He planned to create a miniature version of the grotto and basilica at Lourdes, the Rosary Basilica. The chapel and its unique, intricate design have made it the most famous tourist attraction in Guernsey. It is thought to be the smallest consecrated church anywhere in the world. I admired the intricate mosaic work inside and outside the chapel.
After the chapel, we headed back to the ship.
