The Jersey Getaway
Jersey is one of the islands found in the English Channel collectively known as the Channel Islands. The English channel is the body of water that separates England from the mainland Europe. Jersey is technically not part of the United Kingdom but its defence and international representations are the responsibility of the UK. The head of the state is the Queen and the capital city is Saint Helier. Jersey is one of the leading offshore financial centres in Europe like Bermuda and Cayman Islands in the Caribbean.
I was given the opportunity to explore the island for three months and discovered the wonders that it brings to visitors and to the rest of the world.
This is the Corbiere Lighthouse - the most photographed landmark in Jersey.
The Elizabeth Castle built in the 16th century to protect island invaders. The castle was named after Queen Elizabeth I and was the official residence of the Jersey governor during that time.
And finally the Saint Thomas Catholic Church in Saint Helier.
Everyone who visits the island can hop on to the island explorer buses that go around the island’s famous tourist destinations for just one pound per trip. The tour can be completed in two days and I would recommend everyone to pay a visit to the island when you happened to visit Europe.

I featured this site in Deuts.NET, you should thank me –by returning the favor!
Jersey looks like a very nice place to visit.
Hi Deuts thanks for featuring me in your website. I really appreciate it.
One of my friends is requesting if you can translate your comment into English. Hehe.
Is that message in Tagalog? I thought this blog was English and Wiray-wiray only? Haha..
How come there are no pictures of protestant churches? St Thomas’s does look nice though.
Does the water come in over the causeway to Elizabeth Castle? Is it cut off at Hightide?
Interesting history and photos of Jersey. Did you go to explore the islands like Captain Cook or a mining junior explorer?
Sorry mate protestant churches in Jersey are not as nice looking as the Catholic church. Hehe.
The picture of the Elizabeth Castle was taken during low tide. It will be surrounded by water during hightide. They have an amphibian car that apparently runs both on the ground and on the sea. It carries the tourists who want to visit the castle for 12 pounds plus 3 pounds fare for the car.
Bat hindi man lang ako na-starring??? Saka na ako magcocomment kung ganun, hehe…
Hi Enj, sorry I can’t put your photo as it may ruin the professional image of my site. haha. just kidding..
Hi Wilson,
Wow! This site is very brilliant! Hehehehe, I was impressed to find lots of very detailed information on almost everything (whether on serious accounting matters or just some general trivia). Give me some tips on how you can still find time to create this very informative site, while working, studying, and having some gimmicks (in between?) at the same time.hehehehe
Godbless on your future undertakings and more power on this website. hehehehe
