Last day - st. Martins

We have been pretty lucky with the weather up to now. Despite a chilly breeze it's been mostly sunny and so very pleasant for walking. Today lived up to the forecast for cloudy and light rain. We decided to get the boat to another 'out island' and chose St Martin's and again were lucky as mainly the rain held off until our return journey. Only 120 people live on the island so it is very sparsely built on and mainly produces flowers for posting to the mainland. It has the most spectacular beaches with no development and lots of footpaths for walking. Over the last three days Janet's watch says we have done 17,000, 18,000 and 14,000 steps and it feels like it. We will enjoy sitting for 5 hours on a train tomorrow after the 20 minute flight to Lands End.
This evening when we went for dinner there were dozens of swimmers on the beach preparing for a 2 day swim between the island's and some were not even wearing wetsuits.Read more
