16th June - Kilmartin

Great! my turn to get rest once a week

Gonna visit the nearer town or interesting places around Oban

Marzia suggest me to visit the nearest place here - Kilmartin

I can't believe the bus that I was looking to take to Kilmartin just pass by in front of me O.O

And the next bus scheduled at 1pm, just 3 hours ahead of the last bus which return to Oban

What can I do now when it's just 9.30am?

I desparately need to visit Kilmartin by TODAY!!!

Hitchhiking!

It's doesn't work in the city

and there's no bus I can get now

Walk....

  I walked out to the city by following the highway lead to Kilmartin

After 1 hour walking

I decided to stop on a safe road bank and doing my hitchhiking

Still, there's good people in Scotland that able to take me

A logistic driver who deliver some farm machine to the rural side will pass by Kilmartin

But he warn me to do not doing hitchhiking again in Scotland >.<  Said it's 'Dangerous'

 

Finally arrived Kilmartin by 1pm.... phew....

At least I have 3 hours to walk around before the last bus back to Oban

 

Adviced by Peter, I should first visit the museum in the town to get the route map in order to visit the ancient tomb and standing stones

Then I read this flyer in the museum

I'm so interested to the Viking Festival, as viking seems famous in Scandinavia and North land

This will be my next programme ^.*

Before the walk, please let me have something to my stomach

I'm starved after the long walk and hitchhiking >.<

My order is: Lentil + Thyme

 

Western soup is different with what I have in Malaysia

The soup is full of vegetables and sometimes with meat, you will feel full with only a bowl of soup

And, they use to serve soup with some bread, not the same in Malaysia as we drink soup as the replacement of water during meal

Thyme produced good smell for the soup

I'm glad that I choose to have soup before the walk, because the restaurant will stop cooking hot meal after 3pm

I have no confident to return here before 3pm >.< when I actually arrived here about 1.15pm

 

Then began my walk

  

 

 

Kilmartin Standing Stones

Took me almost 1 hour to find it which it's only opposite of the Temple Wood Circle =.=

 

There's good people saw me walking back to Kilmartin for the last bus, took me a lift

Although it's only 1km to walk, but I actually left not much time to 4pm

 

What's await for me when I return is, FOOD!!!!

Guys doing meal again

Juan's pizza and Natura's chocolate cake ^o^

Spainish are brilliant!
