We've done that part of the tour already a couple of time, but never during the Festival and high season. Earlier is easier and later you get more entertaining weather.
Looks like a lovely day!
It was…
Here's a picture of the bounty from Islay - just festival releases.
Will post the remaining pictures from the trip soon. Tomorrow evening we'll be heading out to Helsinki for a long weekend - expect more IH DD action…
Nice updates Foxy
OK - after leaving Islay we headed for the Isle of Bute where we stayed in Rothesay.
Again, the weather was great!
The main attraction on Bute is undoubtably Mount Stuart, so we headed over there in the morning to catch the first tour of the house.
A few of the many details from the tour of the house…
Bits of original William Morris wallpaper…
The gardens ended up being the most impressive!
For the rest of the day we explored the ruins of an earlier church at the tip of the island.
Gorgeous pics - thx for sharing @FOXY
After returning to Moscow we had a short working week before heading out Helsinki for another long weekend trip.
In Helsinki we arrived just in time for an Italian dinner…
Friday was spend wandering around, shopping and taking the occasional flower picture…
Dinner was Asian-Fusion with drinks upfront!
We went for the menu…
The restaurant was maybe a bit showy, but the food was interesting and solid in quality.
