What a beautiful evening yesterday. The sunniest and warmest so far. Next to us on the camping area were a young couple in a VW Transporter hire van. Not just the young couple, but a baby and toddler as well. At seven o' clock, the trials and tribulations of putting young children to bed began. We laughed a little at the shenanigans remembering with fondness those bygone days. The excuse, 'it's not dark yet' still applies, and made us laugh. Just before ten when we retired all was quiet. Good luck tomorrow night parents, when you have to go through it all once again.
This morning another beautiful start to the day. Barely a wisp of cloud in the baby blue sky. Mid morning two Australian registered vehicles pulled in unaware that it was not a parking area. Unloaded from the vehicle three labradors, chairs and parasols. The dogs left to wander while us and the other campers all watched thinking the same thought. Will they or won't they pick up? After a while they did. For goodness sake people.
Today we decided to drive to Tobermory, called a village here, but to us it's the big town. The drive over the hills was once again challenging. Nothing new there then. And of course it was during that moment we received a telephone call. House viewing at the weekend? Couldn't say no to that could we. We're desperate to sell.
Tobermory is beautiful, more so in the light of the afternoon sun. We did a 'big shop' at the little Co-Op and used the showers at the marina. Two pounds for seven minutes of blissful hot water.
Just before Salen we saw the hulks of three fishing boats.
The weather today has been stunning and we decided to head back over to nearby Loch Na Keal for another night. The oyster catchers nest still has three eggs in it, but the plovers only has three instead of four. Sadly it looks like someone has taken one. Once again we will cook on the shore whilst enjoying the extraordinary views.
