Woke up at 7:30 today and ate a huge breakfast.  Full whatever.  yes, I  ate it all.  I'm paying for this, I'm eating it.  Rested a bit then we  went for a walk down to the campsite and the ocean.  5 miles.  Little  walk.    It is wild but  they have showers and toilets.  You camp on the edge of the world.   Hmmmm...single track road after the ferry.....  But the campsites overlook Iona and the sea!
Came  back, I posted pics finally, and napped a bit, then we had dinner on  the bench in front of the B&B ...a gull stole our bread.  We had  enough.
I mentioned the boys we met in the pub-the ones from the  Torbermory Hostel, well they were out in front of our B&B trying to  find a place closer to town, but...no luck.  We told then we might see  them in the pub later.
We did.  My friend was off using the phone  and I had my pint there...and they walked in.  Had a lovely hour with  them.  My friend came back...they went off to dinner, we walked to the  ocean and came home.
I remarked that there was a fire on the far  hillside, and there was a very large fire.  My friend had noticed a small  boat on the hill earlier, and I remembered that I had seen a sign in  the store for "Remember Helga"  A wake for a local person who had died.   Well, it wasn't just a wake, it was a frikkin viking funeral.  Too far  to walk, but I have pics.  No, there was no body...just a party to  remember.
So, every day we seem to have a new and different  experience.
Tomorrow we are going to Staffa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
