We
packed our camping gear in the dry Exeter Services (lorry park) and
were very pleased as the rain came in as we drove west. Our plan was
to stop over on the Penzance car park – we had seen other
motorhomes do this in the past. On this occasion we were the only
van, parked near the harbour right under a helpful light. This turned
out to be the spot where the local lads congregated in their cars!
They had gone by 11.30pm and we settled to a good night's sleep and a
£2 parking fee!
Soon
morning arrived with the sound of a crane at work, lifting a small
yacht into the harbour.
This
was our prompt to pack the duvet and last things and move onto the
quay to off-load our gear, then park the motorvan in the Cattrans
secure parking for our 4 week stay on the Isles. We took a lot of
gear – but then 4 weeks is also a long time! Home from home so to
speak, or is that van to tent?!

We
last did the ferry crossing in May 2007, the excitement remains the
same with iconic views of Penzance and St.Michael's Mount.

The iconic St.Michael's Mount - to be visited later this summer?
We
had been up at 6, now the hooter signalled our 9.15am departure.
We're
on our way!
