There were no staff around when we went down to breakfast and all we had was cereal and orange juice that we had been promised yesterday.. I had to search for somebody to pay before we left and yes I was sorely tempted to walk out!
I went with Margaret to see her off on the bus to Par and who should get off the bus in Fowey than Annette and Graham. They had had a miserable night in Par and decided they needed time to see Fowey, a wise decision. I acted as tour guide for them and told them where to buy the best saffron buns in Cornwall.....the Quay Bakery of course. After a coffee sitting by the river at The Galleon they crossed over to Polruan in the ferry to start their day's walk.
Meanwhile Margaret, who didn't have any missing sections walked from Par to Polperro where I joined her later.

There are several steep ascents and descents between Polruan and Polperro which I have walked many times in the past. This time I took the local community bus to Polperro which is quite an experience. The driver Alan was born in Rotherham where I was born and takes his dog on the bus with him. All the locals know each other and get dropped off outside their houses. It is all very friendly and uplifting.
I duly arrived in Polperro and had the customary ice cream before climbing up to the coast path to await the arrival of Margaret. Of course who should I see but Annette and Graham again as they finished their walk for the day. They were getting used to me reading my book on various seats on the coast path and I think they were quite convinced that I wasn't doing any walking at all!

Polperro is a delightful place to be on a sunny evening when all the crowds have gone home and this was the first time I had been here in the evening. We had a lovely meal at 'The Green House' and managed to avoid the battered seagull advertised elsewhere!
We were staying at Penryn House Hotel which was very nice and a very reasonable price.
