Le Chardon Bleu: NEVER EAT IN THIS AWFUL RESTAURANT !
This is quite the worst restaurant at which I have ever eaten!
I have had bad meals in Africa, Australia, India, South America, UK, & the USA but none as bad as this.
The service was appalling, not the fault of the poor waitress, but the management, who simply had insufficient staff.
The quality of the food was very poor, and in some cases it was inedible - the value for money is awful.
Do a search on Google & you will find that I am not the only person who thinks that this restaurant needs new management & staff.
Quite dreadful - there can be no excuses.

Tide and ebb

This is a lovely island which can be walked around in a day but pay attention to tide and ebb. For all those VT travellers who are not accustomed to such drastic changes which tide can bring this might be a useful warning. Namely, my husband and I went a bit off the track,...
