Back from The Isles of Mull and Skye
Day 1 to Isle of Mull
We found our hotel and a parking spot in front. Score 1
The wonderful view from our wee room. Score 2
Checking out the wee town at the end of the road where the Tobermory Ferry Terminal is located, we found a restaurant called Fish Cafe. Score 3
The view back to Tobermory from Fish Cafe. We inquired about a table and they regretted to inform us that it was fully booked until 9:30pm. Oops, someone had just cancelled. Score 4
This restaurant is INCREDIBLE!!! The food here is beyond heaven itself. Dick ordered Seafood Stroganoff and I ordered Mull Lobster with Crab Gratin.
Dessert was shared. A gooey apple cake with caramel sauce and ice cream. When we finished this fabulous dinner, we immediately made a booking for the next night.
After dinner we took a walk. This picture of the signage was for my friends that like to read Gaelic
Watched the end of a lovely day along the waterfront.
Day 1 to Isle of Mull
From St. Andrews to Oban on Friday, August 27, the route goes through the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, as well as Ben Nevis and The Glens. This area of Scotland is one of my favorites..the beauty abounds
Along the way we came upon a small eatery where we had a wonderful home made lunch. The place must have been famous for the baked goods, as check out the scones on the table.
There were three types of scones, two soups, and numerous other yummies. The scones were cut larger than a piece of pie and were at least 2" high in the center.
At the ferry terminal in Oban we learned that the ferry to Craignure was fully booked, so we bought a standby ticket. Coming back out from the terminal it began to sprinkle and as I took off my glasses to hide them from the rain (I had just washed them) and hide the camera from the rain, I missed my footing and took a header landing fully on my knees and palms. Knee was cut and hugely bruised as were the palms, but thank goodness no emergency room needed.
The wounded knee
The ferry
The que
kids playing soccer while in the que
The bar on the ferry
Dick having a wee dram of the Tobermory scotch which was on special at the bar for just 3.95; it is a nice light taste with hints of cherry
Lighthouse as we near Isle of Mull
The Duart Castle in the distance where movies "Entrapment" and "When The Bells Toll Eight" were filmed
We will visit this castle the next day.
Arriving in Craignure, we drove directly to Tobermory to find our hotel and settle in after a long day of travel.
The beautiful village of Tobermory
