Wednesday 19th August 2009







After six and a half hours of what felt like the worst bus journey ever (it wasn’t but windy roads make Lizzie feel pretty bad, and we all know what she’s like when she’s grumpy…), we finally arrived in Oban. With our budget of £400, but hoping to spend much less, we ran through the town to try and find the nearest Tesco. After deciding that splitting into two teams would be the best approach, we ran off madly screaming and laughing to buy 9 days worth of food. It was pretty stressful, especially when we realised that we’d probably miss the ferry that would take us to Tenacity, but we eventually bought 4 pretty full trolleys, spending just under £400. We then made a very embarrassing trek through the centre of Oban with our four trolleys, getting many strange looks from the Scottish public who probably thought we were for some reason trying to steal, amongst other things, 17 loaves of bread. After dumping our shopping bags under a tower, we once again split into 2 teams, one of which returned the trolleys to the Tesco car park. The other was sent to buy bags of chips! After some friendly help from our new Scottish friends waiting at the ferry stop, we managed to get all our bags on the ferry and began our journey to the marina. Once we arrived and had finally managed to get all the shopping onto Tenacity, we packed everything away and began to cook some fajitas, which were yummy!
