Guernsey, Channel Island, U.K.

We had read that this town was notable for their dairy as well as a strange kind of bread with fruit and spices mixed into it. The bread was ok—I think I was the only one who rated it so generously—and the milk was good. Not as good as the dairy milk from home, mind you. We went on a nice, self-guided tour of a castle right on the outpost of the island, overlooking the ocean below, complete with waves crashing at the base of the tall rocky cliffs providing a natural defense. Apart from this, we wandered quite admirably, having become one-hour instant locals: set me and my sis loose in a foreign town for an hour and we can find all the good stuff within walking distance, then find our way back with no map. There were some quaint shops and more food snacking, as well as delicious, homemade ice cream! The ice cream and the castle were my favorite parts of this port.
