Another bright morning, with a cycle from our North Connel digs to Oban and the Kerrera ferry, where we dumped our panniers once again before taking the little ferry across to the island which seems to protect Oban harbour from the elements.
Our fellow passengers were walkers, keen to circumnavigate the island - a trek of perhaps 6 miles or so. We set off on the same route, encouraged by signs for a tea shop...! There is a road, or rather a gravel track, which goes past a homestead with aviaries full of parrots and macaws, winds up and down (with splendid views) and then arrives at the most delightful.., tea shop!
With a window opening on to a garden full of tables and chairs and the wonderful smell of coffee and fresh scones, who could resist?
We left this pleasant island (after waiting for the ferryman to offload 18 dumpster bins) feeling good and heading for the metropolis of Oban, where we would soon embark for Lismore, island no 14.
