Saturday at rest in Inverkip

We took a very late breakfast / early lunch in a coffee bar in Inverkip and then had a leisurely wander around the town. Not really much there. A station, a chemist / post office, which was closed, a Sainsburys local and the Inverkip Hotel, where we booked in for an evening meal.
We returned to the boat where I scrubbed and polished, in the warm sunshine, whilst the crew slept below.
Later in the afternoon, we had a thunderstorm, with lots of thunder rolling around the hills which surround us, and heavy rain.
We dodged the rain and made our way to the hotel. The starter, black pudding with poached egg and a hollandaise sauce was excellent, followed by the steak & ale pie for me and John had
the Hake and Thai curry. Both enjoyed greatly. John found some room for the apple crumble.
We enquired of the young waitress which were the local whiskies on the hotel whisky menu and had one from the Isle of Arran and one from the Auchentoshan distillery. Needless to say we enjoyed them both, and two boys giggled their way back to Calviere II.
