We went to Herm on a Trident boat leaving St Peters Port. It took 20 minutes and as it was low tide we disembarked at Rosiere Steps. We witnessed several elderly couples struggling to get up the steep steps so beware anyone with mobility issues. We walked to Shell Beach which was beautiful and had a soft drink as cafe were having difficulties with their till. We then went onto Belvoir Bay which was stunning even on a cloudy low tide day. We then walked across the island back to The White House Hotel. It was an extremely steep climb uphill and had to stop to catch our breath a few times. Certainly not suitable for mobility issues. Had a really good lunch at The Ship adjoining the hotel. Very tasty and service was excellent. We then got on the boat at Rosiere again and saw a couple struggling to get down the steps. Well worth a visit

We took a tour with Pancho and Mario, who brought 8 of us from a cruise ship to see the sights of Acapulco in a comfortable air conditioned small bus. The guides’ passion for their hometown was obvious and endearing. They told stories about the places AND the people we saw, whom they waved to as we drove past. We visited 4 interesting sites, and Mario took pictures of the group that he later emailed to us. We had great seats on a shady balcony to watch the divers at Quebrada while enjoying a cold drink. Clearly, our guides were well known and very experienced in making visitors enjoy their city. After the formal tour, they suggested a great authentic restaurant for lunch, and got us back to the ship. Great fun, interesting color commentary and expert guides.
