Cloudy and slightly drizzly day - warm
Oban - Arrival
On the way here we had to cross over the impressive Erskine Bridge over the River Clyde.
... and passed Loch Lomond
Passed the top of Loch Awe
... and on to Oban, where the first thing we had to do was to find High Street:
and then No. 5 where we were staying - the brown door on the left was the entry.
We met Jane, the owners mother-in-law who let us in and showed us around.
This is the lounge
... this is the kitchen:
... the bedroom:
... and the Bathroom - with an actual bath!!
Parking here is a nightmare. We walked around for ages trying to find a place where you could park for a day, or several days, but the street parking was all 2 hours at a time and you had to pay. After a long time we found a scungy looking one thta we will use when we get back from Mull tomorrow. You should be able to park outside your house for as long as you like!
We went to Lidyl's supermarket, which was pretty big, to buy supplies.
Very intereesting about the parking, at least they make very good whisky on Oban.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a nightmare to park in Oban, even to get to the information centre
ReplyDeleteThe flat is lovely, despite the 37 steps to get to it. The parking situation is a nightmare which causes a lot of angst. I bought local paper a couple of days ago and there were 2 letters and 2 articles about it. The council response is that they will be addressing the problem in the next year. I'm pleased that we are leaving in the morning, hopefully before 9 am when the restrictions start again in this street.
