A wonderful bicycle ride around Guernsey. Beautiful scenery, narrow roads, very pastoral with occasional bunkers.<\/p>\n

Our guides were great and it was very nice to be out in the air riding bikes and not in a tour bus sitting. I carried my big camera slung on my side\/back. It was a bit of a nuisance, but the pictures were worth the hassle.<\/p>\n

We stopped at a little tea house and grabbed a snack, a very tasty slice of apple pie in my case.<\/p>\n
