Off to see the lighthouse – 3 September 2024

We got the Liberty Bus (Liberty is the bus company on the island) to La Corbiere lighthouse in the south east of the island. It’s a scenic spot with a great view out to sea and a walkway that will take you through the rust coloured rocks to the lighthouse itself. We just sat on a bench and took in the scenery.

Lots of things to see and do there. We found a bit of yarn bombing with a decorated post box celebrating 150 years of the RNLI. The postbox was no longer in use, but that didn’t affect the crochet work! There are old German gun emplacements dotted around the coast and a strange looking finely balanced mobile in someone’s garden I think. It was making the most of the wind that day. Did I mention the wind? It was gusting all the time and making it feel colder than the thermometer said it was, as wind usually does. We were happy when the Liberty Bus appeared over the hill and we got a round trip of Corbiere then rejoined the road back to ‘civilisation’!

Dinner tonight was in Izakaya again. Almost as good as the last time, but more subdued, it being mid-week and also I suppose because we knew we were going back to the hotel to pack and to prepare for tomorrow.
