Just before we retired to bed last night Angela noticed there wasn't a breath of wind. Not a quiver from the leaves on the tree in front of us. We'd only waited nearly five weeks for this moment. This morning however, we were back to normality, the wind blew across the loch, which was o.k. as it dried the small amount of washing we'd just put out. Strong wind and heavy rain is forecast on the island this evening, so we made a decision to head back into Tobermory for the night, once again staying alongside the harbour. It also gave us a chance to take a shower at the marina and pick up yet more shopping.
Tobermory is a must visit place when on the island. What many visitors don't realise is that the main street leads just to the ferry terminal. Large motorhomes regularly become stuck, causing chaos. We have to agree with the lady in, 'Hooked', the excellent fish and chips shop serving the 'best scampi ever', that they should be called 'crash vans' up here as they're far too large for Scottish roads. Showers taken and lunch eaten we walked around the small town, stopping at the bookshop where we saw the largest selection of books on otters we'd ever seen.
Then more walking, to try and ease the excessive lunch, up above the town from where the views of the harbour and colourful buildings are stunning.
Tomorrow we will probably drive over to Loch Na Keal for the night. Last time we stayed there we saw an otter. After our sighting of one yesterday, we have the 'bug', and are now keen to see more.
