8th June - Easdale Island

Everyday we start work from 10.30am - 1pm

Work for a short period are able to exchange us the accomodation, laundry, and daily breakfast

Peter is the owner of the Backpacker Plus

He returned from holiday since yesterday and he would like to bring us for a walk in Easdale Island

Which located about 45mins drive away from south of Oban

The Easdale Island have about 20++ residents, a small small town

However, the resident here won the World Skimming Stone campionship

 

 
We stop at Clachan Bridge, a hump-bucked masonry bridge
About 13 kilometers Southwest of Oban in Argyll

 

 

After 20mins we crossing the bridge, we arrived the ferry port in Seil

We rang the bell to call the ferry, and the distance between two island are surprisingly close, just 5 mins on boat I presumed

 

Thing really go well when people hang out for a trip together and almost everyone have their own camera

The same moment you capture a photo of people, people do it to you as well, then others do for them

 

The Skimming stone

Kuan intended to capture the photo of sky, meanwhile I'm walking slowly as the last person in the team

  

Found a seagull nest

Never touch the eggs, as the bird's mother might destroy the touch egg, most of the bird nature

 

Small island, no people around, just few of us

I don't even talk to people most of the time, but really enjoy a small group hanging out

 The stone here are so special with its thin body

Really suitable for skimming water

Natural born training center for the resident here

 

Timo even brought his ukulele for hiking, playing alone on the cliff, sing on the same song everytime ^o^

 

I found very funny when Timo play the ukulele

He has a big hand and the tallest among us but playing a tiny guitar which only the finger can cover the whole neck of ukulele ^o^

See Kuan is taking our photo behind us?? 

 

Something attracted my attention, seems like Kuan asked me something and I pointed to her

 

After a walk uphill, I try to be the fastest one going down. This young people are just walking without a pause on the half way for any photograph or view enjoying, which I found very hard for me to do not do that.

Therefore, I'm trying to walk in front of them on the way back, otherwise they will just kept telling me to hurry up, quiet annoying sometime >.<

 

There's some trapped fresh water in the island

Excellent turquoise my favorite colour

 

Walking about 1.30 hour in the island, we are heading back to Oban for dinner

 

Not a hard walk but quiet tired on our way back, especially we are just the passenger do nothing but just sit in the car
