Sometimes, ferries are part of the path. In this case, we ferry from Falmouth across to St Mawes, then a bus from St Mawes to Portscatho where we walk the path back to Falmouth. Depending on the time of day and bus schedules (and sometimes tide tables) it's often easier to bus out and hike back. 

The coast path goes from Falmouth to St Mawes via a ferry.

After tea and a pastie, we take a bus to Portscatho, where we start the 6-mile walk back to St. Mawes.

Bob climbs the pole because, of course. Susanne reads the sign to find out what it's all about.

Huge ships waiting to pull into the harbor.

A medieval coffin. Bob wants to climb in and pop out when the next walker comes along.

We end the walk at Place, and wait for the ferry to St Mawes. As the tide is still out, we have a bit of a wait.

Shrimping.

The ferry only holds 12, so several people had to stay behind and wait for the boat to come back.

Stopping for a drink at The Rising Sun.

Too much cider and Susanne is giggling because she can't get her backpack on.

We explore St Mawes.

Taking the ferry back to Falmouth.

Back in Falmouth, all day breakfast at Weatherspoons. Plus a third cider.

Trudging back to the cottage.
