The day was bright and sunny as we arrived at Penzance station. We had had our breakfast, we sorted ourselves out in the confined cabin, collected the suitcase we had left with nice train manager and trundled our way towards the Scillonian which was waiting.
We had one further problem. Our Scillonian tickets were for yesterday's sailing and not valid for today and the ticket office at the top of the quay was not open. We spoke to someone at the head of the quay who was very helpful and took Christine to an office who issued a current day ticket and everyone was happy. We checked in and boarded all in good time. The moral of this complete story of this holiday travel is: Never travel with the Savills - it never goes to plan. There was a fresh

settle in seats downstairs. The voyage went well, we caught up with some sleep, had a coffee and were soon approaching the islands. We were pleased to see St Martin's and our home.
We soon found the pleasure launch and were on our way to Higher Town. Ben and Caroline were meeting campers there with a tractor and trailer and kindly transported our luggage to Lower Town. We were pleased to arrive home and thus finished another enjoyable (mostly!) episode of savillstravels. Many thanks to all who have followed and commented - we have no further travels planned at the moment.
