3 Islands

Husband went fishing today with his folks and I decided to join Mum & Dad on a tour they'd found taking in Mull, Staffa and Iona.

• Ferry Oban-Mull
• Coach across Mull
• Boat Mull-Staffa
• Walking on Staffa
• Boat Staffa-Iona
• Walking on Iona
• Ferry Iona-Mull
• Coach across Mull
• Ferry Mull-Oban

Quite a long day! Loved Staffa - very reminiscent of Giants Causeway with organ pipe style basalt columns. Iona was beautiful - I wasn't sure if I'd "get it" as I'm not a Christian, but I enjoyed the views and the feel of the Island. Saw my first ever Corncrake after much listening & staring at a heather hummock. Coach trip across Mull took over an hour - remote landscape - entertained by the Coach Driver who kept up a constant burble of facts & stories. And it was great to spend a bit of time with my parents.
