Dream, Dream, Dream: 3 Months Countdown Begins

It was with great excitement that I received the news a short while ago that my Canadian visa had been approved. That excitement very quickly turned to shock and horror when I discovered that I had only six months in which to use it!

And so, a decision was made… “I’ll be dreaming of a white Christmas” is going to become very, very real this year. ❄️

Today officially marks three months to go!

The air tickets are booked, accommodation is booked, the trip is taking shape and the excitement is most definitely building.

There are mountains to see, snow to play in, adventures to be had and a whole new corner of the world waiting to be explored.

Canada… the countdown has officially begun! 🇨🇦❄️✈️

Today was an early start as we headed down to the ferry terminal.  Luckily it was a relatively short walk from the guesthouse.  From Oban via ferry to the Isle of Mull wasn't far but it is slow.  The trip was oh so very beautiful.  I am truly going to miss all these beautiful watery expanses I've grown to enjoy about Scotland and the accompanying islands.  Once on Mull we hopped on the bus and headed north to the small coastal town of Tobemoray.  A colorful sight greets you as you arrive with colourfully painted buildings that reminds me a lot of our Cape Town's Bo-Kaap area. It's a sleepy little fishing village with really not much going on but we did enjoy a good cup of tea with pies.  We did stop at the museum and a some of the stores.  We however quickly ran out of things to do as we couldn't drive ourselves around.  So we decided to head back, again via bus and ferry.   Once back in Oban we stopped for fish and chips before hea...
