So I din’t do much today. The official kickoff of the Sabbatical travel happens on the 31st when I start a retreat on the isle of Iona in Scotland (with the Wild Goose Worship Group) and originally I was going to go to Oban today. In reality, the caretaker of the hostel had a positive Covid test, so they needed to close through tomorrow. I WILL be staying there the next two nights. So, trying to find a hostel between Inverness and Oban that was not too terribly out of the way landed me in Fort William (Glencoe, my first choice, was booked up.)
This kind of thing can happen when traveling in a time of Covid! So Ihad planned some more involved hiking for the day, but ultimately took it easy, walking only 4 miles, 2 miles out and 2 back on the Great Glen Trail, one of two long distance trails that end/begin in Fort William (The other is the West Highlands Trail). The walk was lovely and level, which was great in the rain, which poure in the morning but sputtered on an off in the afternoon.
Tomorrow, my bus to Oban is at 12:30, and I’m not sure what I’ll do with my morning. So a few lazy days here..
After all, a sabbatical is partly about rest, right?
