Continued from part one.

Jersey is on one of the UK Channel islands, but are situated near the French coast. With huge differences between high and low tide (up to 36 ft) it can look really weird sometimes, with boats laying on the side on the bottom. And beaches that are only beaches in low tide etc.

Well here are some pictures.

It was the best meal on the whole stay (5 nights). It was about $25 and worth every penny.

I agree...the low tide, high tide pics are so amazing. I've never seen anything like that. How cold was it?

Nice pictures, Karin, thanks for posting. I was thinking the same as others about the tide. Really unusual.
