a war time balcony



Sunday was a beautiful day, and I had it off!
The sea was flat calm and so we had to get out in the kayak.
As we came round Clarence Battery I noticed that the back entrance to the old German tunnel was looking very different.  It had been tarted up and definitely has what looked like a table chairs on a balcony, interesting...

Got in abit closer nd yes definitely a rather nice coffee spot. 
The Guernsey Aquarium is on the other side of the headland in the same net work of tunnels and it has recently had a revamp, wonder if it is anything to do with that?

So in very different weather on Wednesday I went to have a look, and yes you follow the U-boat signs over the shark tank
Sorry its blurry, taken quickly...
and you pop out on to this gorgeous little viewing platform
okay I know its not looking its best in that dreadful weather, but on a sunny day I think it would be great.  They haven't got space for a café out there, but in the shop there are vending machines.

Lovely to see the Aquarium really busy,
and love the way they have really tapped into the locations war time roots,
submarines in the fish tanks etc!

one more sunny photo from Sunday, do hope we get this weather back,
fingers crossed for an Indian summer
