Ullapool – Scotland

---

Susan just got her 4^th new country, and I got my 3^rd. I now have 68 different countries that I have been to. Our port was Ullapool Scotland. We didn’t get into port until after lunch and there was a bridge group that was going to meet in the morning, so I joined them. It was fun. The 3 people at my table had been on the world cruiser that this ship had just finished. During that 160+ day cruise they took bridge lessons and played on the sea days. My partner knew how to play. The other couple, not so much. George told me if there was another bridge group meeting, he wanted me as his partner.



After lunch, Susan and I started a movie until around 2 when they let people take the tender to the shore. Our excursion wasn’t until 4, but we left a bit after 2 to do stuff on our own. Once we got to town, the locals handed us a map that had a walking tour on the back. Since we knew the included tour was a walking tour, we just did our own. Ullapool is a small quaint town. We saw the few sites, went into a few shops, and sat on the wall overlooking the bay. And we learned the towns population was around 1000. So between the passengers and the crew, we doubled their population.We then headed back onboard to write the blog, watch the port talk and head to dinner.
