Lochbuie, Isle of Mull (again)

It was a beautiful morning this morning. Sunny, but breezy. It makes a huge difference to us if the weather's fine and we're not cramped up on top of each other inside trying to dress. John opted for the outdoor dressing area, what he didn't expect was a wildlife tour bus to pass by just as he was letting the breeze flow over and around his....enough of that! Exhibitionist.

Today we were heading over to Fionophort so Angela could eat lobster for the first time. The journey as always on Mull slow but picturesque. Around every corner another spectacular view or motorhome!


Some of the roads in Scotland are not for the faint hearted, as a couple of Germans realised this morning.






Our lunch was delicious. Eaten outside as we watched the visitors board the ferry to the tiny island of Iona. We had no need to join them as we've visited before, but for anyone who hasn't, it's a must.

Where would we stay overnight tonight? Uisken beach was nearby, so off we went. But the weather changed and the thought of being there in the rain overnight held no appeal. So, despite the long drive we returned to Lochbuie. Of course we did. Angela so loves this place, it's going to be difficult to coax her off Mull. Once again a walk out to Moy castle stopping to watch the young fallow deer.



Loose plans have been made about our onward journey. We need to catch a ferry back to Oban on the mainland to avoid the long drive back round through Fort William before catching another ferry to Islay, then returning back to the mainland to catch a ferry to Arran. We have been away from home just over five weeks now and suddenly the days seem to be flying by. Sadly it looks like Angela will be saying goodbye to Mull very soon.


Just as we are sorting out for bed a super rainbow appears across the loch along with other camper on the shore to photograph it.
