We are going to Arduaine Gardens and then on to Kennacraig from there a ferry ride over to Port Ellen on Islay.\u00a0 While Gun and Lennarth went in to Arduine Gardens\u00a0 Terese and Patrik sat in Loch Melfort Hotel and had tea and coffee and shortbread.\u00a0 Gun and Lennarth thought the gardens were very interesting and had many different variations of plants which we had at home.\u00a0 Driving a little further we stopped at Kilmartin for lunch then we drove a smaller road since we had lots of time before the ferry went to Islay.\u00a0 By taking a detour we got to see Crinan Canal.\u00a0 In Lochgilphead we searched for a Co-op, Patrik had seen that they had Balvenie Double Wood which was cheaper there. After driving around we found it and Patrik bought his whisky.\u00a0 We drove to Tabert and took a walk around the town, ate ice-cream, etc.\u00a0 We then drove to the ferry terminal and picked up our tickets.\u00a0 We continued to drive south\u00a0 until we found a place to stop,\u00a0 and found\u00a0 a very nice beach, so Gun had a quick dip in the sea.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We had food on the ferry and met some Swedes.\u00a0 They\u00a0 were from Stockholm and had flown to Glasgow then were going to drive around Scotland.\u00a0 We\u00a0 also met a group of ladies who were going to cycle round Islay.\u00a0 When we arrive on Islay we drove directly up to Kintra Farm where the camping site was.\u00a0 The tents were put up on grass covered\u00a0 sanddunes by the beach. We ate supper, then it was time for bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the usual way and roughly the same time as all the other days we left the camping site by the small and winding coastal road to Oban.\u00a0 We hadn\u2019t planned so much today..
