Carlisle to Oban

We planned this to be a train trip, and we did have some train. But heavy rains and flooding closed a number of lines - including the route from Glascow to Oban. We were able to rebook on a bus. It's not our favorite - but it worked. We still got to take the first part of the trip by train. 





After an easy hour on the train, we got back to Glascow, this time with Adam too. The rain makes for a nice shine in the pictures, but made for uncomfortable walking from the train station to the bus station. 

We never did figure out how they did this trick to appear levitated. 

The drive to Oban took around 5 hours. At first it was quick, but then we were on pretty small roads that meandered along loch after loch. Plus the traffic jam - we were stopped so long that we got out and walked down to see what was holding things up.


But at long last, and only a little queasy, we pulled into Oban. It was only a short walk to our Airbnb. It's up on the 3rd floor, but it overlooks the harbor. Amazing!
