Hope you have a nice trip,

You sure it was Herm Guy .. there are no cars on Herm other than farm tractors.. same in Sark

Lucky you seeing the puffins, in all the 26yrs I lived there I never saw them once.

Yes the rock pools are great.

Vazon Bay is mostly sandy and if you are there when there is a particularly low tide you might just be able to see the remains of a forest at the northern end. Have fun.. and this is the first time in nearly 7 years since leaving gsy that I feel remotely 'homesick' you should have a great time Tigrxx send us a postcard
