Calmac Ferries

In a holiday that involves a lot of Island hopping, there are a lot of ferries involved. This one coming up behind me is the one that will transport us from Oban to the tiny remote island of Barra.

We say farewell to our Oban landlady Iona, who was a very friendly and chatty soul and go off to line up for the ferry. It's a perfect day for it, sun shining and the water calm as can be. There are large trucks, motor homes, cars, people and the inevitable dogs. It should take us about 5 and a half hours to get there but we're already 30 mins late. It will be well past beer o'clock by the time we arrive........

Isolation at its best

The sky really was this blue, no photo shop here. The crossing was smooth and altogether very pleasant.

 Hurry up.....I'm thirsty
