We spent an inordinate amount of time on the bus today. It isn’t that the scenery is dull, or that the people around me aren’t interesting to chat with. It is just that I want to be up and moving. And before you make a sarcastic remark about traveling by ship, just remember that on the ship I can walk around, get a fresh cup of coffee, visit with people, and enjoy the scenery coming to me. I don’t get sea sick. The vibrations in this bus make it hard to read or knit…
Anyway – our first stop today was Inveraray Castle (home of Clan Campbell and the Duke of Argyll. If you want history – go here, here, or here (for the designated listing information. The family lives here, so all of it isn’t open to the public. Speaking of that – to control the wear, tear and visitors, the castle is intermittently closed to the public. Today was one of those days – just opened the doors for a couple of tours. The Netherlands tour bus seemed a lot fuller than ours.
(pictures to follow when the internet here is back up – or tonight which every happens first). Not interested in using up the bandwidth to hotspot uploading photos..
From there it was a ride to Luss for a short stop then off to Loch Lomond (song started in your head yet?) for an hour cruise up and down the Loch before returning to the hotel.
