-- I arrived at Elizabeth Terminal off the Condor Ferry from St Malo France. I stayed at 2 star
Stafford Hotel for 4 nights for Bed and Breakfast. This was my third visit to the
island of Jersey. It is the largest of the Channel Islands. Jersey is self ruling and a
British Crown Dependency . The States building [ Parliament ] is in St Helier. T he island is 9 miles long and 5 miles wide. Jersey bus company runs 25 routes calling at all places. This trip i took a tour bus that covers most of the coastline. I think that two places are my favourite, Corbiere Point, and Greve de Lecq, everywhere else very close. ---- The blurred map shows in red the places visited that i mention.
