Guernsey
Kirsten and I stayed on Guernsey for two nights. If you haven't read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society yet, you should do that immediately. It's excellent fiction, and it explains the German occupation of Guernsey in WWII.
This is Cornet Castle, an ancient fortress in the harbor. It was used for defensive purposes from the 13th century to 1947.

The Little Chapel is a miniature replica of Lourdes Basilica, created from broken china and seashells. It's big enough to walk through comfortably (barely), and the detail is amazing.
