Another long day. We were up at five to catch the ferry to Mull, off the ferry and quick time to the 96 bus to Fionnphort - it was full but we were on, one hour 20 minutes on a one lane road - the bus driver had serious skills, and then the ferry to Iona. We made it on all and were on the island per plan by 10:15. What a magical place. Then we had to reverse it all to get back to Oben, pick up our car and get to our next stop an hour away. That is for tomorrow’s post. Today the rest of the photos I could not upload yesterday.
Plus the money story. Our plan to use our new joint travel fund debit card hit a snag. Neither of us could remember the pin. We tried three different time twice each. Meanwhile we needed some cash for the jaunt to Iona. We tried a lot of things but at 9:00 last night we still had zero GB bills. Finally Jill, who know where papers are put and in what order! called a good friend who has a key, who got us the number and presto at 6:30 this morning we had some cash. Once we got to where we were told it was cash only, it was not. The took Apple pay. So we still have all our cash.
We drove from Oben to Glencoe with dinner out of a box en route to get to our B&B not later than an hour past our scheduled time. They were gracious.
Yesterdays shots.

We hiked to the folly. Quite an “up.” See next photo.
That is the town of Inveraray on the peninsula and beyond a bit, castle just below the hill.
If you look carefully you will see the folly on the top right. This is from the Castle and we walked from the town. OK, Dave, you get a point for your effort.
Another castle (ruins) that we spotted driving to Oben.
