Guernsey Island

Our last port today was Guernsey Island, the only British territory occupied by the Germans in WWII. It's one of the Channel Islands located just a few miles off the French coast.
We did not book an excursion at this stop. Mary wanted to shop and we wanted to see The Little Chapel. We tendered to shore,found the Visitor Center and they gave us direction for using the bus to get to The LIttle Chapel.
The chapel was amazing! It was small, but large enough to walk inside. And it was covered with broken pieces of Wexford China to give it a mosaic feel and coloration. The interior of the chapel was similarly decorated and had a main altar and several side altars. It was build by one man - quite the amazing feat.
Now we head to Southampton and on to London Heathrow for our flight home. I'm planning a photo page with more pictures and will post again once that is ready.
