      We took the car and headed north for 2 hours to visit Burg Stargard.

        Dinner that evening was had at a nice Michellin starred restaurant called "Alte Schule" near by.

        It came with excellent wine pairings!

          On Monday my wife had to go to her specialist workshop in Berlin as the original front grill for her Volvo had arrived…

            Lovely outdoor shots @FOXY !

            Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
            Well, I have others.

                I was trying to convince my wife that we need another Volvo in our lives - a 444.

                We'll see about that…

                      Renault 4 or 4L - referred to as R4

                      Given the front grill it could even be the earlier R3…

                        Ok - was a little busy last weekend with getting the cat to Berlin, but now we are ready to begin.

                        Heading out Amsterdam/Glasgow right now.
                        Will arrive late in Glasgow and take a rental car out to Tarbert - as close as possible to next morning's ferry over to Islay.

                                  Ok, here we go…

                                  Hit Glasgow late at night and made to our first stop/hotel after midnight.
                                  The early morning view from our room.

                                  The hotel.

                                  Had to get up at the crack of dawn in order to get the first ferry over to Islay.

                                    Breakfast of heroes on the ferry.

                                    …and the coffee problem:

                                    (Will post more pics in the coffee thread at one point.)

                                    The passage was easy.


                                    Hit Port Ellen in the early hours.

                                        Now, the reason we came to Islay was the Fèis Ìle - The Islay Whisky Festival.
                                        Our first proper stop was a warehouse session with Lagavulin's warehouse manager Ian McArthur…

                                        A good way to start a day!

                                          Since it was just around the corner we did stopped at Ardbeg.


                                          We had an excellent lunch on-site, but intended to come back the next day for Ardbeg Day.

                                            At that point it was early afternoon and time for the second session of the day: Bunnahabhain's Manager's Drams with Distillery Manager, Andrew Brown & Senior Blender, Kirstie McCallum.
