Spotting Puffins & Van Malfunctions | Isle of Mull: Part 2

Ruslan, what are you doing? It's so majestic here. Wow, the light is so beautiful. Good morning, it is an absolutely stunning day here on Mull. We've just set off from our camp spot for the night and we've already pulled over on the side of the road to get some drone footage of the beautiful loch behind me with the mountains. Yeah, it's amazing. So today we've decided to start heading north. We're going to head towards Calgary Bay where we think there's lots of wildlife there. Apparently it's really beautiful. So we might park up there for the night but on the way up, mooch around, see some beaches and yeah, just enjoy this beautiful day and the beautiful roads as well. It's like just driving is really, really nice here. We're also going to try and catch up with a couple of friends if we can. They are heading away on the ferry this afternoon so hopefully we can catch up with them. And yeah, more food and views and just yeah, chill time here on Mull. We just caught up with our friends Anna and Sam who are also on Mull doing a bit of photography and cruising around. These guys went for a swim and it was nice. Yeah, it was good. It's just started to rain so we've decided to head to the pub just up the road from Calgary Bay which is where we met them and have a pub lunch because we haven't really had breakfast, have we? No, no, no. Well, we kind of had some bread and Nutella so I mean, you know, it wasn't a healthy breakfast but any excuse to go to a pub. Oh, I thought any excuse for a bit of Nutella. Yeah, also that, yeah. So, first operational defunct that we've had with the van is for some weird reason the drawer has just decided to stop closing which is the last thing but it also means that we can't shut the back doors. Yeah. So... So having to empty out... So we're going to empty out, we're going to take the drawer off. Yeah, and then which is highly frustrating but it does mean I found the chocolate. And it's raining. The one day it's raining and we're in the car park of this restaurant we just ate with our friends Sam and Anna and yeah, not ideal. No. So basically this drawer it just won't go the last like couple of centimetres but yeah. The doors won't close. Never had an issue with it. Not much to do today anyway. Well, yeah. So we just had the drawer out and we're just going to push this out to one side. And... both... both hinges go back so there must be or there was something that was just catching... You couldn't see anything in there we thought there might be something like a rock or something, there's nothing there. Wow, look at that actually. What? So just where the... No, from the hub being hot. Yeah, no way. Just a bit of a burn patch. Just a black mark here. But yeah, hopefully when we put it back on it will shut, otherwise... Who knows? I mean, basically it will have to shut and even if we have to push it in manually Yeah. Yeah, you mean not put it on the runners? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which will be highly annoying but we'll just, you know, we'll make it work basically because we need to be able to lock the van. Yeah. We're going away on a ferry tomorrow. Bye, lovey. Bye. And in true Scottish fashion the midges have just come out and it's raining. For the first time on this trip we have midges and rain. Yeah. And a broken drawer. Well. Oh well. A dysfunctional drawer. Still part of the fun of van life. Yeah, yeah, that's alright. So I've taken refuge in the van away from the midges. Ah. Have you done it? You just pushed... Yeah, I don't know what... You've done it. I don't know what it was catching on but... We just tried to push it back in after taking it off and it didn't work but now Harvey seems to have done it. Scottish life. Harvey, look at the camera. Jesus Christ. And now we need to put all of this... Well, I'm thinking we could just drive somewhere a bit more... Away from the... Away... We'll have to get all that off the shelf though. We'll just do it really quick now. I'll compact for you. Well, I need to put all the screws in. Okay. Because I've only put in the bare minimum. Okay. Eating alive. The midges are awful. I don't know if you can see, they are all over my legs. And this is me right now. It's a bit of a rainy, cloudy day today so we've popped over to Tobermory which is the biggest town on the Isle of Monk and we're just heading on a walk into Aros Park. Oslo really needs a walk. It looks really lovely as well. I've got the harbour behind me which is beautiful. And we need to be here tomorrow for our boat tour so I think we're going to park up somewhere near here as well so we're within easy access. That is a very wet headed dog. You're very wet. Well, we just got absolutely drenched on that walk. My leggings are soaked through. Oslo is soaked so we're going to dry off and then jump in the van and make a plan for the evening. Good morning. Morning. Let's do that again. Good morning. Today we are heading off on a boat trip with Stafford Tours on the Isle of Mull. We are heading over to the Isle of Lungar, Stafford and a few other sites along the way. Fingal's Cave, I think. Fingal's Cave. Should be good. Lots of puffins, hopefully. So yeah, we'll take you guys along. Hopefully see some cool stuff. Oslo's coming on the boat as well. See how he likes that. See you guys there. See you later. The Isle of Mull It does extend in silence by 230 feet so it's 70 feet high and it's approximately 1200 degrees centigrade and it's a very inconsistent bath. We've just got to our first destination of the day which is the Isle of Stafford. I think it was about an hour and a half sailing to get here. I was feeling a little bit sick in the last half an hour or so You and Oslo Me and Oslo not very happy unfortunately. It might be I mean it really wasn't that bad. It might be because I'm pregnant or it might just be because I get seasick. But yeah, we've got an hour here to explore. We're going to go over to Fingal's Cave and take it in. It's beautiful. Sunny, warm actually cold but sunny. Cold wind. Because there's quite a lot of muffins just a few hundred no, a hundred away. They let you get really close to them because they see us as protection against the larger birds. So we've been trying to get some good footage and saying hello to the little muffins. They're amazing aren't they? They're really funny. They're like just quite comical little creatures but very cute. They've got very sorrowful eyes. Yeah.
