EATING US

That was Susanna's solution at mosquito's problem. They were attacking us the whole trip and, still now, almost a week after, I have plenty of bites in my arms and my forehead looks like a teenager one.

WHERE IS THE HOSTEL???

That was our question to every citizen from Whiting Bay. Our Lonely Planet Guide for Scotland told us that in that place there was a hostel, but not anymore!!! So, with our soaked tent we had to camp again. Luckily it wasn't raining and we could cook and eat outside, the menu was noodles, crakers with some cheese and an apple as a dessert. However, during the night, another storm came and the tent got wet again.

HITCHHIKING

We were on the schedule to take the last bus to go to Whiting Bay, where a hostel was waiting for us to sleep, but we didn't read properly the bus timetable and the last one ran just on Fridays. That meant that we had 16 miles (25km) until our next stop, quite a long way considering that was 7pm. So, the decision to get rid of the situation was to hitchhike. Three cars picked us up and at 7,30pm we reached our objective. I think we were really lucky!!! In the meanwhile we had some sun, so we decided to enjoy the views.

KING'S CAVE

As you can see in the pictures we were not able to find the cave, our orientation got lost. However, the walk by the coast was really nice and we could see the cliffs, so "no hay mal que por bien no venga".

READY, STEADY, GO!!!

Our camera has an electronic timer to take pictures automatically. The funny thing is that each time we use it, the camera takes 3 photos. So, knowing that, we took advantatge of it and that's the result.

MACHRIE MOOR

The next stop was in Machrie to contemplate some groups of stones from the prehistoric period. It was quite difficult to find them, so Susanna decided to go up a ladder and find out where they were, but it was pointless. Finally, after look around for a while, we got them.

LOCHRANZA

After the whisky experience we went to Lochranza, an astonishing bay with a really old castle. Again, the weather was bad, so we had to lunch inside, but after the lunch came the first beams and birds begun to go out.

ARRAN WHISKY DESTILLERY

We needed to get warm, for that reason we decided to go to the Arran Destillery and taste some of their whiskies. You can not be in Scotland and not go to a destillery. To be honest, the whisky cream was superb!!!!

s&g

WET, WET, WET!!!

That was the weather we found in Arran, it wasn't raining, it was pouring water literally. We started walking at 7:30 pm and half an hour later we had to put up our tent to shelter from the storm. It was raining from 8pm til 10 am next morning, so we had to manage to eat, get changed and everything inside the tent. Quite annoying!!!

ARRAN ISLE - WELCOME!!!

The ferry took one hour to got there but was nice. When we got off the ferry, and after five minutes walking, we found this signal "No camping" and our planning was to camp wherever we could find a place, so we broke a bit the law but doesn't matter because on our way we found more people camping.

NEW PICTURE

SANDY BELL'S PUB

We went the other day to have a drink in Sandy Bell's and one man heard us speaking in spanish and he joined in the conversation with a perfect galego accent. We were astonished when he said "entre pitos y flautas" jajajajaja

The man is behind us, in the photo, playing a guitar

STEF'S FAREWELL

It was supossed to be a dress up party, and the theme was "B of....whatever" but at the end, only Stef and someone else were dress up... Anyway, it was a good night!

Although the result of the night before (see susanna's shoes) we still had energy to play the real Flag Capture game. Meadows became the perect land to organise the war. Later on, after a deserved coffee it was tourn to chill out with a folk concert. A really good endind to a really impressive weekend.
