Started the day with a little lie in and read in bed…lovely!
Headed into Oban and found the Pancake Restaurant we spotted yesterday and had pancakes with lashings of cream and icecream.
Reluctantly took Helen’s bike to the bike shop for further repairs. The pucture resistant tyres are proving they are not! Tried not to be too girlie about it, but just wanted the man to fix it! Unfortunately he did not have the tyres required, so kindly took off his own winter tyres and fitted them. Also new brake pads (on the right way around) and 2 new inner tubes (the right size)…… I am saying nothing, but maybe someone at a popular cycle shop in Leicester may need some new glasses!
We walked through Oban and up to McCaig’s tower and enjoyed the view over the bay. Only a little bit of rain.
We decided it was too early for lunch, so took a boat trip out to the Seal colony. By this time it was blue skies and sunshine and the seals and their pups were very cute. Good views of the surrounding islands. Apparently there were also dolphins in the bay feeding off the mackerel. Not today unfortunately.
Lunch time and we enjoyed a seafood platter with oysters (and everything!) and a bottle of wine.
Finished off walking along the seafront with an icecream.
Hurrah for a well-deserved day off. Are you nearly there yet?
