Oban



This weekend we took a group trip about four hours north to a town called Oban. The train ride was absolutely beautiful, it took you through the woods and cliffs, you could see animals herding there was a waterfall. Thus picturesque fishing town is the last stop of the railway and from here most people take ferries to one of the many neighboring islands. The first day was rainy so we decided to do an indoor activity, we toured the famous whiskey distillery which existed before the town of Oban itself, it's sits right in the middle of the city. After dinner we hung out at the pub across the street called O'Donnell's which was highly recommended by the hostel manager. It was a fun night, there was live American music which we missed at this point and really great local beer. The next morning we took the ferry to the beautiful Isle of Mull, and ate delicious seafood at a locally owned food shack by the sea. I had a fantastic weekend!
