Holiday - Scotland Day 8 - Drive to Oban

Scotland Holiday - Day 8
Drive to Oban


Todays aim was to drive to Oban.  We are stayin at a B and B for 2 nights before going out to the Isle of Mull.



We packed everything up from Dyemill and set off to Lochranza to get the ferry to Kintyre.  We got there in good time to get the 10:45 ferry.  It was only a 30 min crossing.  The roads on Kintyre were single track roads with passing places.  Luckily the larger campervans seemed to all let the cars go ahead of them.  We pulled in at a view point but the view wasn't that good!!

We arrived in Oban around 13:30.  We parked and had a wander round.  We went to the tourist information to get some lealets and we called in to an outdoors shop to check about the weather and to find out about indoor climbing opportunities.

We eventually managed to get hold of the B and B owner who said we could arriver whenever.  We went straight there and unpacked our stuff and found out some suggestions about where to eat that evening.  The B and B seems nice, rather eccentric owner!! 

We ended up in the Royal Hotel for dinner.  Lovely food and good portions.  We might even go back tomorrow night!!

Back at the B and B we had a quiet evening.
