I reccomend using a wise card when travelling, as I can add money and convert it to most currencies you can get a card to add to the wallet on your phone. You can use contactless but also draw out cash from machines.
Wise
Absolutely love to travel with this. It's simple to use and helps me to calm the mind when I travel.

A cute little pineapple plantation, where you can see the pineapples growing. There is also a little cafe attached to it which sells pineapple liqueur which was fantastic! And also maybe a refreshing cocktail or two.
Plantação Ananases A Arruda
You should definitely go on a whale watching tour. We didn't see any whales however we saw a superior of dolphins must have been 100 or more of them! And some of them were interacting with our boat. I Loved it!

Get a ferry from Guernsey to the island of Herm, where no cars are allowed. Walk the whole island along their costal path and chill on the multiple beaches. If your lucky you may even see a puffin!
