Iona .. so close and yet so far.

We made it to the ferry slip in Fionnphort (Mull) in time for the 09:00 ferry to the Isle of Iona, but sadly the winds and resulting sea state were too strong for the vessel to operate safely. To be fair, there were some cracking waves racing up the Sound of Mull, so we could do no more than gaze longingly at our target school just a mile or so away. With no hope of the ferry restarting before noon, we decided to postpone our trip to Iona primary school, with the hope of rearranging a visit for later in the year. With time to spare before our 3pm ferry back to the mainland, we took the opportunity to explore the rest of Mull.
