Tresco

The sun was shining and the view from our window showed the harbour in all its glory.
After breakfast we stepped across the quay and into a boat bound for Tresco .. Sue wanted to see the gardens.
Because of the tides we landed at the New Grimsby Quay. Having all day on the island, and a regular ferry boat, allowed us to take our time and so we first headed North to the remains of the "castles"

We walked back down to the gardens via the few residential buildings with the shop and office etc. looking longingly at the place where we would have stayed the night we missed out. We were to catch the helicopter to Tresco then move to St Mary's yesterday.

Down the long drive to the estate and into the gardens proper.

After seeing the gardens .. back to the ferry stop only to find out it was no longer from the same quay, but at the extreme south end of the Island at Oliver's battery.
So walking almost the length of the island again, but now along the shore line, we arrived at the quay with a wait for the next boat.
So we explored the shore line, with Sue beach combing towards Green Island.
