Gale turned out to be nothing really. Up at 7:00 a.m. Breakfast before 8:00 a.m. Getting set to go to Iona today. Went down to Fionnphort. Bought ferry tickets and picked up a few things in the shop. I bought a pewter celtic cross for myself there. Took the 12:00 noon ferry over to Iona. Had a picnic lunch in the garden of the nunnery. Walked along to the abbey and toured around inside. Some wonderful cottage gardens along the way. Took some seeds from a large artichoke/thistle looking plant – no idea if they will grow for me at all.
Back on Mull, passed Alex Fletcher twice today along the roads! Used the Glen More (A849) road both ways today. Along the way, saw the rock that marks the spot where the Isle of Mull was once divided between the Irish and the Picts. Got a good look at jackdaws, gannets, cormorants and a seal feeding today. Back at caravan by 5:30 p.m. Making plans for supper. Sent postcards home. Likely leaving Mull tomorrow.
