Ian's Travels and Everything Else » Oban http://cdine.org A look in to Ian's travels, and occasional other topics - probably pertaining to tech, mountaineering, bicycling, and the such Sat, 10 Apr 2010 01:49:35 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Next on the list – Oban http://cdine.org/2010/01/09/next-on-the-list-oban/ http://cdine.org/2010/01/09/next-on-the-list-oban/#comments Sat, 09 Jan 2010 12:18:15 +0000 Ian http://cdine.org/?p=93 I’m going to try and catch the train to this afternoon, around 4:45PM to Oban. It takes a while to get there, almost 5 hours. It’s supposed to be a very scenic ride though, so hopefully I can see some of it!

I’ve booked a bed at the Oban Youth Hostel, which looks very neat and is really inexpensive – 19£ including 4£ for breakfast. The building looks pretty amazing, like an old abbey. Take a look at their website:

Tomorrow I plan to check out Oban itself, and figure out what to do for getting to the Islands of Mull and Iona – from what I’ve heard, it should be pretty simple and there’s frequent running ferries throughout the day. I hope to stay a night or so on Mull, which should be nice and relaxing.

I’ll try and update again once I’m in Oban! I haven’t yet uploaded any pictures from Edinburgh, perhaps I’ll get to do that some tonight as well. Bye!
