After really trying for ages to sleep, I got up and got the small gas cooker going to make some tea, and it wasn't long before I was joined by a disgruntled Irma, and we sat talking untill the early hours before things calmed down a bit with Vesuvius that has stopped erupting so badly, and we made our way quietly back to the tent. All was now stable, with just an occasional kind of a gurgly bark from Liz, and Benny had stopped snoring altogether.
I thankfully closed my eyes, and was just drifting off nicely, when all hell broke loose on the other side, as the two snorers must have turned, and by doing so, because they were not in their comfy beds, came out of their snoreless state, and when they suddenly let rip quite simultaniously, both Irma and self groaned lustily, and I knew that this was the end of any sleep, unless we went to sleep somewhere else.
So out we went again, after I tried to locate Liz's car keys, as we have decided to sleep in the car. The keys were nowhere to be found, and as Liz made some strange and weird noises when I went into her side to try and find the key, I hastily left without, as it was nowhere to be found in the dark, and I dared not lite a match in case she woke up.
But sleeping in the car was out of the question, as when we got there, and found the doors unlocked, we were elated only for a very short while, as both the front and back seats were already taken by the two girls, who refused to leave their cosy nest to make way for Mum and Gran.we were now quite anxious, as it looked like dawn was already breaking, so we took our sleeping bags to the small kind of kitchen and washing up space, and tried to get some sleep on the hard cement floor. Of course it seemed almost impossible, but I think we were so tired by now, that both of us actually fell asleep, sleeping the sleep of the utterly exhausted!
We were woken by a very puzzled Liz, who stood looking like she had a hundred year long beauty sleep, and this lady was very much upset to see that all of us had jumped ship, and she denied vehemently our accusations that her snoring kept us all awake. She lit a cigarette with heavily trembling fingers, and walked away disgustedly to the ablution block, but when she came back after quite some time, and got her breakfast plate loaded with bacon, beans, fried bananas and tomatoes, and also some fried bread a coffee, she thawed a wee bitty, and it wasn't long before we were all friends again!
We were going to drive around the Mull of Kentyre, visit the beaches on the way, and make our way to Muasdale where we were sleeping that night, again in the tent. Heaven help us!
