Day 23 - Mull

Anne still wasn't 100% this morning, so we decided the best think was to return back to Oban ASAP. Unfortunately our return ferry wasn't booked until 7pm as the original plan was to spend as much time on Mull, or revisting Iona. I took the decision to risk turning up at the ferry port at Craignure and explain our situation. So we left the comfort of Caol the B&B but not before I had tucked in to smoked salmon and scrambled eggs watch by Anne who just had  fruit tea.

On arrival at the ferry port - Craignure I explained our plight. Unfortunately the earliest return would be 5pm, as they were overbooked, but a compromise was made if we we prepared to drive to the next crossing at Fishnish, they would honour our ticket but it would mean extra driving north as the ferry landed at Gamony, and we would need to catch a second ferry from Clovullin to Onich to avoid driving around Loch Innhe this seemed like a plan, even if it meant extra driving, as Anne although recovering was still washed out. - All went well and we were back by early afternoon to Anne's relief.

Below are some of the 'snap shots' on route around Mull - as down time was the order for the rest of the day! - will see what tomorrow holds
