Final day

Had a pretty easy day today. Had to be up and out of the hotel by 11.00. Not that early compared to the previous days, but having a deadline always adds pressure. The day was slightly overcast with chance of rain and suited our just taking it easy attitude.

Ciaran is still into collecting rocks so we had a drive around to the usual places and he managed to get a piece of something exotic. I also managed to get some cheese and despite Ciaran getting something from the Chocolate factory I was able to resist, though the fudge shop seems to have closed.

The warship we saw last night was still lurking about. They were flying helicopters off it to a smaller boat. We took some pics of it but nothing that will give a name, the zoom is just not powerful enough. After looking at the pics and comparing them to whats on wiki it might be one of the new type 45 destroyers. Its hard to tell from the picture, but the helicopter could be a lynx, but its certainly not a Merlin. It was playing about off Corrie for most of the morning.

After lunch we headed south to Kilmory. The plan was to walk out to the cairns but there was no where suitable to leave the car so we headed back towards Kildonan. We parked up there for a while while Ciaran did some more rockpooling.

Of course, one of the things you have to be aware of while at the beach is the tide. It going out isn't that much of an issue, but when it comes back in you should be prepared. Ciaran didn't nad got cut off. The thing was I had told him to keep and eye out and had told him to take his socks off. Short wade and he was back.

It was then back to Brodick and onto the ferry home. We ordered chinese on the road homw and collected it when we got back to Troon.

All in all, a great holiday.
