On Holiday
We've been having a great time on holiday here in Oban. Yesterday, we visited the Isle of Mull. The main town on Mull is Tobermory, where the famous Balamory kids' show was filmed. April adores Balamory and consequently had a great time.
I enjoyed the Isle of Mull Railway, and April got to help turn the train round at the far end of the line.

The Mull railway is a 260mm narrow gauge railway that runs along a track of about 1.75 miles from Craignure to Torosay. They have a diesel engine (shown above) and a lovely little steam engine. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to ride on the steam-powered train. We didn't even really get to see it, except in passing, which was a bit of a shame. Still, great fun.
This is the first holiday we've been on with internet access in the accommodation. It's remarkable how much more relaxing it is, knowing that getting online won't imply spending time trying to find a hotspot out in the middle of nowhere.
