Saint Peter Port, Guernsey



Saint Peter Port is the capital of Gernsey as well as the main port. The population is about 16,000. As well as being a parishm St. Peter Port is a small town consisting mostly of steep narrow streets and steps on the overlooking slopes. It is known that a trading post/town has existed since before Roman times. The postcard shows Victoria Marina and the Town Church.
Many thanks to Jean-Pierre for sending me a great card from his trip to Guernsey some months ago.

Guernsey


Guernsey is a British Crown dependency in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy. The Bailiwick of Guernsey embraces not only all 10 parishes on the Island of Guernsey, but also the islands of Herm, Jethou, and Lihou. Furthermore, the Bailiwick includes Alderney and Sark, which each has its own parliament. Guernsey is not the part of the UK and is not part of the EU.

Big thanks to dear Jean-Pierre, who suprised me once again with awesome postcard from his travels! This is my first postcard ever sent written and stamped from Guernsey, so now I only miss postcard from Kosovo to complete my postcard collection of every European country. :)
