The first stop of the day today the Distillery in a very
nice little town called Oban. This was
the second Whisky tour of the trip but this one was actually a much more
entertaining tour as the guy leading it could have seriously been doing
stand-up comedy for a living. He had us
laughing hard more than a few times on the trip, but also knew his stuff and I
learned a a few more things about the process than I had on the first Whisky tour.
After the tour we just walked around the town a little and
ended up having lunch at the pier from a great food truck there. It was a little cold out but fun to sit and
watch the people while we ate. Our
parking spot had a two hour limit so we decided it was time to head out of town
and back to the house.
On the way back,
we stopped at Dunstaffnage Castle and Chapel which was an old ruin that was
very interesting to walk around explore.
I’ve actually been enjoying the ruins much more than the castles that
are more like museums on this trip.
The house we rented for two nights in Taynuilt was really
nice and maybe my favorite place to stay on the trip so far. It is so very quiet here and the view from
the upstairs is beautiful. The only downside to the place was that the
staircase is very steep and narrow and getting the bags up to the third floor was an adventure.
Tomorrow morning will be another early start, as we’ll be
heading out for our final stop on the trip.
