Guernsey Day 6 - A walk in the park

	Today's official activity was a visit to Candie Park.  Alex would lead us up there and get us into the museum.  We went up with the rest, but as we had already been in the museum, we just walked around the gardens.
	Supposed to be the oldest greenhouse on the island, but it is not well maintained, or not maintained at all.  I hope this is only temporary.
	The climate allows plants to grow that would not survive elsewhere. We spent maybe 90 minutes in the park, then had a drink from the café and returned to town.
	We arrived back just too late to ride the 'Petite Train', so bought some lunch and tried to find some shade to eat it, on what was the hottest day of the holiday so far. After an age of a wait, we finally boarded the train. Another guided tour, with a lot of repeated information, but it also went to some parts of the town we had not seen - the bathing pools. They were created by the Victorians, with strict male / female segregation. Even being built so that one group could not see the other.
	We then walked out to the bathing pools and visited the café there.  We watched the boys dive-bombing off the diving board as we enjoyed some refreshment. Then on to the military tunnels, with an impressive display of WWII memorabilia and air conditioning.
	On the way back we passed this tribute to Edler Schweizer Ritter Othon, a friend of Edward In 1277 he was appointed Governor for life of Guernsey and the Channel Islands. That a tribute like this can be left out in the open, close to a bar, is a tribute to the people of Guernsey.  There has been no vandalism of this monument.
