Day 34 May 23rd Penzance to home (St Martin's)

The last day of our holiday was good weather as so many of our days had been.  We sorted ourselves out, had breakfast and caught a taxi with all our luggage to the quay for the Scillonian.  We met some campers on the quay (the Rosedales and Pattersons) who were on their way to St Martin's for a holiday and who told us they would be joined by a lot of their families in the coming week.  Our crossing was good, we met Heather and Alan on the quay and then joined the Voyager for the last leg to St Martin's.

Colin Rowley had kindly volunteered to meet us at Higher Town and transport us with all the luggage to Lower Town.  Button deigned to say hello to us and now we have the task of sorting out all the laundry and hopefully improve some aspects of the garden.  

On reflection, we have had a truly wonderful holiday and feel really blessed with our experiences.  The scenery with rivers, lakes, waterfalls, mountains, fjords and glaciers has been outstanding.  We have also never seen the variety of wildlife that we have witnessed in the last month - the bears, elks, moose, deer, the whales, dolphins, porpoises, sealions, sea otters and eagles were breathtaking.  Our overall impression was of a really exceptional time.  How do you follow that?
