On our drive there, we got to see a lot of countryside. I loved seeing this old windmill with the new blades!
We had to get there before a certain time, so that we could get our car parked, and then take the shuttle to the island which drops you off still a long walk away. When we arrived, there was an incredible storm. It seemed everyone was leaving in droves.
The tide was out. You can see where the shuttle busses stop. They have a driver spot on each end, so that they don't have to turn around.
This was the side we stayed on.
Many people who own shops or hotels live here on the island.
Others stay on the island, too.
I wonder if there was a ladder up to that door.
There were excellent restaurants on the island.
We stayed and ate here. It was very pleasant, reasonably priced, and so cool to stay on the island itself.
It is an excellent look at the alley. Tim says it looked a bit like Diagon Alley.
The view from our room.
William loved running around.
The ramparts.
We had lamb sale or salt lamb. The land locally still has a lot of salt. The sheep eat it, and therefore their meat is naturally salty. We ate looking over the mudflats looking towards land. It was such a beautiful view.
The best part about staying on the island is that people clear out, so you have it more to yourself. If you get up early in the morning, you can start early up to the abbey and see it before the crowds show up!
