Next stop was over to The Inn at Ardgour where we had booked a pub stopover for the night. On route we stopped of for a cup of coffee at the side of Loch Ness then onto Fort Augustus to see the boats go through the locks.
Whilst we were at the locks a family of ducks had got separated, the ‘mummy’ duck was trying to round up all her chicks, we couldn’t leave until sh had got the all back!
We continued on to our pub for the night. This involved 18 miles of single track roads. What we didn’t know was that due to an accident on the other side of the loch, around 200 cars were being sent in our direction! The journey took a while but I was very pleased to get to the pub without damaging the van.
The pub was very busy but we were served a nice meal that we took back to eat in the van while watching everyone queue for the ferry.
We had planned on going to Oban but couldn’t find anywhere to park Wike so changed out plans and caught the ferry to the Isle of Mull. This was the first trip on a ferry in the van. The place we had chosen to stay was a car park at Calgary bay.
This was the most stunning location with white sand beaches. We had a very quite nights sleep. Although we had to leave early the next morning as the only ferry we could get off the island was at 8am
