This was a Free Day so we could do as much or as little as we wished. There was a little bit of drizzle but not enough to spoil things. Most ambled around St. Helier, with many taking the 'tank engine' to St. Audley and/or the 'paddle duck' across to Elizabeth Castle, whilst others took a bus to another part of the island. We were able to see for ourselves how much Jersey was affected by the tides. It was interesting to see how St. Helier had literally grown over the last 25 years, with land (re)clamation having added a substantial area. We gathered for dinner at 7pm at the hotel.
