Sea Plane

Last week Ian & I went on the Loch Lomond Sea Plane from Oban to Glasgow, it was a fantastic Christmas present from my Mum.
What an amazing trip!!!! It is highly recommended, we left Oban at 12 noon although it normally leaves at 10am. You get a boat out of Oban Bay to the plane. The weather was perfect bright and sunny and there were only 3 passengers including us onboard.
As we took off and left Oban there was a big cruise ship moored in the bay, so we flew over that, it was brillant!!!
The captain asked us if we minded landing on Loch Lomond to refuel, what a question!!!! It was a brillant bonus taking off and landing twice and the views over Loch Lomond on such a stunning day were out of this world. We landed on the River Clyde in Glasgow just about 1pm. We decided we would stay the night in Glasgow and return the next day but you can do it all in one day if you wish.

Coming back was just as amazing although it was a bit duller but it didn't spoil the trip. We had another bonus on the way back, there were 2 passengers going to Tobermory in Mull so the captain decided to go there first then back to Oban. Coming into Tobermory Bay was fantastic with all the coloured houses, it gives you a completely different perspective on somewhere. So another take off and we were on our way back to Oban.

The experience was something you would never forget, it costs £149 for a return ticket per adult & £110 per child, it is well worth saving your pennies to do! You get such a different view form the sky! http://www.lochlomondseaplanes.com
