Campaign Part 2: Tobermory Unleashed

This is the follow-up to my first blog post about an away trip to Mull.

On our first full day in Tobermory, we visited the local distillery (where I tried no samples) and the homemade chocolate store (where I tried many samples).
 And we set off on a tour of the island with a wildlife specialist called Ewan, who we highly recommend to any future Mull-goers.
The lambs were out in full force. I sang them the "Little Lambs so white and fair" Primary song...
They were not impressed. Neither were my three, tolerant traveling companions...

 ...but the most exciting wildlife we saw (speaking as an Arizona girl) was the Highland cow, a long-haired, long-haired, ginger-colored specimen of bovinity that could give our black-and-whites a run for their money!
Indeed, at times the scenery was positively Tolkien-esque!


On our third day, we took the ferry back to Oban, a pleasant fishing village (currently rather touristy), where we ate -- more fish and chips!
 
 Among other good things...
And the whole thing was positively magical :)
