Siesta on Islay


Refreshed after our stop at Ardbeg, we made our way north east, hotly pursued by a fresh west wind.


We had covered leagues of ocean and were becoming exhausted by our exertions.


Just in time, we spotted an idyllic white shell sand beach which was sheltered from the wind by wooded slopes above.


We found ourselves in yet another stunning location with a view under brooding clouds to the great Sound of Jura..


On our travels we have been greatly inspired by tales of great Spanish navigators. Taking our lead from them, we decided it was time for a siesta!

    Douglas I have often meant to post saying how much I appreciate your wonderful blog. You have such interesting adventures that our trips seem very tame!

    Cheers

  12. Thanks for the captions everyone! The prize goes to Steve, as his suggestion was the closest to the truth!

    David had done his back in.

    Nothing that a spot of Ardbeg wouldn't fix of course!

    :o)
