TRAVEL 023 Day Three
Now feeling totally relaxed and in holiday mode, today’s plan was to explore the East coast. Driving round Jersey is a feast for the eyes as at every turn the scenery changes dramatically. On the coastal route from St Helier to the East it was almost like a scene from the end of the world – rocks strewn across the sand like a volcanic eruption has just happened. The renowned Jersey Zoo
was next on our list. Founded by the naturalist and author Gerald Durrell, the Durrell Wildlife Trust is a sanctuary for some of the rarest animals in the world where you have the chance to get up close with 132 species, from the tiniest fruit bat to huge gorillas.
Back behind the wheel again, we headed
northwards and dropped down to Bonne Nuit Bay. From here we walked along the well-maintained yet wild and stunning coastal path with its steep drops plunging into rugged coves with azure coloured water, benches and viewpoints along the way. We rounded off our day with a nice meal at the Jersey Crab Shank, St Brelade followed by a sunset coffee at the Atlantic Hotel.

VERY RELAXED WAY TO TRAVEL – WITH COMFY SEATS,
RESTAURANTS AND A DUTY FREE SHOP – AND YOU HAVE THE CAR WHEN YOU GET THERE TO EXPLORE
With just the morning left to make the most of our time on this delightful island, we strolled around its capital St Helier, visiting the market, browsing the shops and watching life go by as we relaxed over a drink in one of the coffee bars.
