Oban is also a port in western Scotland, a gateway to the Hebridean islands. Seafood eateries cluster by the harbour and we walked around the seafront, from one end to the other. That is how I lost the food calories when I travel around... I walked and walked till I felt my legs were on "auto cruise!" But I love it! I can eat more after that! LOL.... I really don't mind walking long distance even though the weather is below 10 degrees.
Yes, I think everyone would have noticed by now that I always have my pink winter jacket on... LOL... That is the warmest jacket I have and beneath the winter jacket is just a pullover. With one wool scarf around my neck and a pair of comfortable walking shoes, I feel safe from the cold.
After the long walk, we randomly walked into one of the cafes at the harbourfront to have our lunch. For the five of us, we ordered a few dishes and beer, costing around 50 pounds.. Now looking back at our lunch, we did not actually eat a lot, did we? :)
Beautiful Oban...
At the harbourfront...
The Walkers...
Sunny but cold...
Along the main street....
Quiet and peaceful...
We stopped by here to the famous Oban Distillery...
However we did not go for the wine tasting and tour...
We are more interested in this place instead...
FOOD!
Seafood pasta...
Sea Bass with creamy sauce..
Seafood chowder...
And I forgot what else...
Fresh mussels not to be missed...
And before digging in.... cheese!!
Now I know why Oban is highly recommended!
the weather was beautiful with blue skies!
ReplyDeleteEverything is beautiful! The place, the sky, buildings, food, and the smiling faces!
ReplyDeleteI have been there and I agree with you!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful place, it has everything! Good tour. Wow, you will walk when it is 10 degrees!! Well, I guess as long as there is no wind! Look at the beautiful ceiling in the distillery! And the seafood pasta looks wonderful, wish I had the recipe. The pink coat is made just for you!! No one else could look or feel better in it.
ReplyDeleteHungry just looking at all the food.
