Ayrshire Coastal Path 2013 Day 2

Day 2 Thursday 8^th August 2013

Today we drove to Ardrossan again and caught the ferry across to the isle of Arran.   

As walking very far was out of the question, we decided to catch the bus that circumnavigated most of the isle.  I took numerous photos out of the window, but the speed of the bus and the fact that I was shooting through a reflective window made the results poor.  

Back in the main village of Brodick, we ate lunch, part of which was my first taste of millionaire’s shortbread; very rich, but yum!   

With little else we could do with my bum ankle, we caught an earlier-than-planned ferry back and went back to Galston.  My leg was beginning to swell further up – teach me to ignore the instructions of rest and drugs – and I thought that was the end of my U.K. holiday, that I’d have to get an early flight back to Canada.  I made some phone calls to try and change my ticket (which I’d gotten through airmiles) but had no luck, so I thought I’d try again in the morning.
