Stepping off the edge

Owlmother's adventures

Picking up where I left off… kinda

I started a blog called Stepping off the Edge when I left my comfortable middle class and middle age life in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and headed to Adelaide, Australia to return to school in 2012.

For 8 years I blogged about events in my life…family weddings, birth of grandkids, travel. I no longer own the email address associated with that blog so couldn’t continue, hence starting over in this space.

So I picked up where I left off with our trip in fall 2024 to Europe and will continue with India and the Maldives .

Alltavona Guest House

We arrived in Oban, our base for the three island tour (next blog) to stay in a charming guest house. The room looked out to the ocean.

The room and hotel had lots of Scottish features like the stag pillows and stag horn lamps and chandelier and tartan carpeting!

The breakfast, although Continental, was a full spread of cheeses and meats, breads, cereals and fruits. I’ve had no problem getting gluten free options here or anywhere.

Oban is known for it’s mussels. For dinner, we feasted on mussels in a delicious white wine sauce, various types of smoked salmon, and a few oysters to top it off. They have various kinds of local beer and ciders to enjoy.
