Tour around Oban






The hostel we stayed at offered tours of the notable sites around the area.











It was very personal; they put together the tour for Emily and I by convincing two Canadians to join us. Highlights of the tour: lots of upclose encounters with hairy coos :), a trip down Glen Lonan the funeral route of kings on their final trip to Iona, a drive through Glen Coe sight of the famous massacre, a peek at Stalker castle (the final castle in Monty Pythons holy grail), the monument to bonnie prince charlie and the place he raised his standard to claim the crown, and Glenfinnan viaduct (the train track the hogwarts express takes with the beautiful arch architecture).

And now, with three hours of sleep, Marc Emily and I are off to Ireland!!!
