Greetings
from Oban, Scotland's Argyll coast.
Nothing like video to capture weather.
Also the hire car on the right.
We left our comfortable B&B at Tarbet on Loch Lomond this morning in much better weather. Tess had plotted our course over the high mountains - Scottish ski fields in fact - of the Highlands leading to Glencoe. The mountains were suitably tall and forbidding but I was left thinking more favourably of te scenery on New Zealand's Crowne Range road from Wanaka to Queenstown. Tess seemed to react more positively and I think her McMurtrie blood is surfacing as my English roots resist the charms of the Highlands - at least in this weather.
This footage was taken from a lovely old hotel with a great view of the water at Fort William and while we enjoyed a coffee I made a booking for a sister property in Oban, the Caledonian. Our bedroom is large and decorated with real furniture fitting the period of this old lady. The free wifi is a bonus too - Tess and I are currently updating our various bts on separate laptops in the lounge over a bottle of red and a chees plate. Very civilised at 6.30pm!
I have been in reception downloading maps so I had better rejoin her! Bye.
