LEAVING JERSEY
After giving the Channel Islands a good go, 5 weeks in total on Jersey and Guernsey we decide that the housing problem was just too much to overcome. Restrictions that do not allow anyone with less than 12 years residency, to rent at a reasonable monthly rate meant we would be paying in the area of ₤1200 a month for a small studio apartment, that is, if you even find one to rent. So, we packed up our bags, booked a ferry ride to Poole and after a 3 hour ride we arrived back on the mainland once again. We have also been looking for a car. After 4 months of trains and buses we feel we have decreased our carbon footprint significantly, and we are also a little tired of lugging our bags on and off public transit! We have been looking online at cars, and an interesting Citroen 2cv is for sale close to Liverpool, and decide to take one final bus ride, we hope, to have closer look. It looked as good in person as online and we leave Liverpool in ‘Josephine’ our little 2cv.
