Island 10 - Jura, 27th June 2014

On a lovely sunny day we took the little ferry from Islay to Jura. Jura's name means Deer Island and there are 5800 red deer on the island. It's quite flat but didn't feel like that with a head wind. When we got to the only town, Craighouse,  that 8 miles was quite enough.

After nice coffees at the Jura Hotel we checked out the distillery,  of course. I bought yet another tee-shirt. Then, suitably refreshed,  we pedalled a flat bit along to a gorgeous beach where all four of us went swimming. I was the only one who had planned to do this so the others managed in various ways :-). One of the decent pics will be on my travel blog as soon as I can get that updated,  given the technical challenges here on the islands.
