Iona in the rain

When I looked at the hourly weather this morning it was:
8:00 – 56 – light rain
9:00 – 56 – light rain
10:00 – 56 – light rain
11:00 – 56 – light rain
12:00 – 56 – light rain

and so it proved to be. A whole lot like Oregon in say March. I gave up trying to get photos out the bus windows because of the water drops and streaks.Day-10-013W

We took a ferry over from Oban to the Isle of Mull. This is part of Oban taken from the ferry. There was actually a brief break in the rain while when we left Oban.

Day-10-032W

Along the route we passed this lighthouse.

Day-10-062W

Once on Iona we had lunch and then visited the Abbey. The Abbey is still in use while being renovated.

Day-10-104W

Because of the recent rain all of the streams on Mull are running full. Lots of water. Very picturesque.

So sorry our weather has lived up to the mythic expectations of many US visitors, Tom. It isn't always like this, honestly.
What a shame the Sasha Festival, Jubilee and Olympics all fell in the worst summer we've ever had! Hope it hasn't ruined your time here.
