Day 2 Wednesday May 14th Penzance to Tavistock

 As with many of our travelling trips not everything goes to plan and so it proved today.  We had an email during yesterday evening that our hire car from Enterprise would not be available at 1100 as booked but would only be around at about 1700.  This caused consternation in the ranks and a phone call was placed first thing in the morning.  We talked with the manager about the possibilities and the best solution turned out to be a smaller car which would be ready at about 1330.  We now had a morning to fill.

After breakfast we had already arranged to have our annual eye tests and so we proceeded to Boots.  It was a glorious blue sky day.  I was booked first and it turns out that my cataracts have developed and now require operating on and so that process was put in motion.  Christine is not at that stage yet but did require new reading and distance specs which will be posted to her in due course.  We checked out of the Premier Inn but arranged for them to store our luggage until 1300 and with time on our hands we went for a walk on the

promenade.  The Ross Bridge was

closed for maintenance and went behind the weigh bridge spying the golden post box erected to commemorate the Olympic gold achieved by local rower Helen Glover.  The box is suffering from being close to the sea. The tide was quite low and it turned out to be very hot.  We went a little way but decided to return to the Jubilee Pool cafe for a cold drink and piece of cake.  There was more of a refreshing breeze at the

It was approaching our collection time and so we meandered back to the hotel, got together our luggage

The Jubilee Pool

 and went to the arranged pick up point at the train station,  We had another phone call to say the car was delayed a bit longer and would arrive at 1350.  From then on things went to

plan,  We picked up the car, did the paperwork and were soon underway.  The journey to Tavistock was smooth with a quick stop at Hayle retail park and then straight to our Tavistock accommodation.  We have since settled in, had a meal at a good pizza restaurant and are now ensconced in our room.  The end of a day which did not go exactly to plan!
