    Travellin to islay

    17 juni 2019, Engeland ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Early start - 8.03 train from preston to glasgow then bus to kennacraig and ferry to islay. £13.40 return to Glasgow ain't too bad - hope its not a cattle truck
    Well impressed with train journey - now long bus journey
    Well missed the ferry connection literally by minutes - the boat was tied up gangplank down but wouldn't let us board - now sat in a shed of a ferry terminal with the only facilities being a tea vending machine, free wi fi and staff that don't give a monkeys!

    Memo for future _ avoid calmac if you can

    Well all good things must come to an end, it's been a lovely short break and I think the 3 distilleries I've visited capture all that there is in this ancient art.
    To be honest the weather hasn't been too bad but I would probably like to visit again when it's really sunny because I imagine that the beaches and walks would be out of this world.Meer informatie
