Today we say goodbye to Islay. But not before checking out a few more places. There’s a ton of distilleries on the island; we chose a couple in Port Ellen the next town over from Bowmore.

First stop: the post office in Port Ellen. Rudy mails my postcards for me.

First stop: Lagavulin

Next stop: Ardbeg

We enjoyed our wee drams and carried on to a historical church and cross believed to be circa 1200’s! The Kildalton is a beautiful and serene setting for a reminder of the deep religious roots in the area.

After a short stroll around the ruins and cemetery we head to the ferry in Port Askaig Our ferry will take us back to the mainland. We have time for a pint and some crisps at the local hotel.

Our destination on the mainland is our accommodations for the night: Loch Lomond Arms Hotel

A bit of a late arrival. But here we are.

Sweet dreams 😴
