After a lovely breakfast of scrambled eggs on toast we caught the bus back to Lamorna Turn and walked down to the cove to resume walking on the coast path.
The path started off a bit rocky but soon levelled out as we approached Mousehole. This is a very popular spot for tourists to visit and even has its own buses.
We had a coffee here on a sheltered seat near the harbour but there was a cool wind blowing keeping the temperature down.
The four mile section between Mousehole and Penzance is all on tarmac but there are some points of interest along the way.

The Penlee lifeboat station is now closed. Sadly the whole crew of the lifeboat were lost in December 1981 whilst trying to rescue the crew of the Union Star.
At this point Margaret left me as she was walking on to Marazion and I was only going as far as Penzance as I had walked the last bit previously.
Newlyn was the next place, famous for its artists and its home to the Cornish fishing fleet. Some of the boats in the harbour had seen better days!
The coast path around Newlyn is quite depressing, boardings covered in graffiti, a working place not a pretty place.
Before long you are on the wide promenade that leads into Penzance.

Margaret carried on to Marazion and the tide was right for her to cross the causeway to St Michael's Mount. It was closed as it was Saturday!
A much easier day than yesterday and I had plenty of time to stroll around Penzance and get a feel for the place.
