OH WHAT A PERFECT DAY – TURUS MARA BOAT TRIP
We had the most wonderful last day on Mull, drove over to
Ulva ferry and spent 6 hours touring the Treshnish Islands and Staffa. We
arrived at Lunga for a two hour stay, a bit of a climb up to a headland which
was covered in guillemots. There were razorbills, Shags, Fulmars and of course
the most gorgeous puffins, hundreds of them all posing for their photos! To add
to this joy the weather was amazing sunshine and clear blue skies.
We had lunch watching the puffins then returned to the boat
for a 50-minute ride to Staffa, with Mendelsohn’s Hebrides Overture, Fingal’s
Cave playing on the boat we saw the amazing island and caves. After landing we
walked across the stunning basalt rock to the entrance to Fingal’s Cave –
beautiful!
How to end the perfect day – on the road back there were
some guys with scopes, we stopped and saw a Sea Eagle (white tailed Eagle) sat
in a fir tree – end of a perfect day!
