OMG!
What a bloody day!
1 First get stupid people carrier out of the car rental s underground car park.
2 circle the block the damn Holiday inn express on west Nile st twice to find a pick up spot
3 The 5 people to pick up morphs into 6!
4Rear two seats only suitable for midget contortionists!
5Finally set off
6 Two miles past Tarbet on loch lomond bus meets lorry on bad bend (the first of many on this bloody road) Fifteen minutes lost while bus argues with lorry and the three cars behind it cannot reverse if their lives depended on it.
7 Monsoon rains, cannot find switch for rear wipers. Give up looking for them.
8 Drive through absolutely spectacular moody Glencoe. Have lunch at the ski chAIrlift cafe. Excellent
9 Second vehicle crash at castle stalker , more delay
10 Massive road works q before Benderloch.
11 Fantastic afternoon tea at Poppies outside Oban.
12 Quick tour up McCaigs Tower and Ganavan.
13 leave oban, reach Pennyfuir cemetery , fire engine, ambulance etc, manage a quick U turn, take back road to lochgilphead
14 Desperate for a pee I pull in at kilmartin hotel then ask can they do a meal for 7 folks. No problem. Excellent me.
15 Push every one back in to stupid people carrier and head for Glasgow
16 All the poor buggers held up in oban finally get away and guess what... They all get in front of me at fecking Tarbet.
17 Somehow get back wipers working guess what no bloody rain but don't know now how to get them off.
Did I actually have any good luck? YES as despite all that I still managed to avoid yet another road traffic accident resulting in a four car pile up!!! And another massive que.
18 Despite all that they had a great time and I'm back in Glasgow having a large glass of red!
Good night all
