6 July – Stayin’ Put

It was a rainy day today in Scotland.  We lazed around the place, painting, blogging, and reading; went to Lord of the Isles for lunch (Dan tried a new single malt “Arran” from the Isle of Arran; had a delicious fish chowder and a “savoury cheese sandwich” which turned out to be quite good.  Kathy had a “Scottish beef” burger which she enjoyed.  

Dan took off for a walk in the afternoon because the sun was out, but alas, he had frittered away the sunshine and midway through it started drizzling, and then raining, and he was soaked when he got back.  Lesson learned:  if the sun shines, get out in it before it rains!  We head out early tomorrow morning, drive down to Kennacraig Ferry (perhaps stops along the way), which takes us to Islay and the Persabus Farm Pottery and Self-Catering/B&B which will be our resting place for three nights.
