Hello chaps,
The time has come to make an honest woman of my wonderful girlfriend, the time is right and I want to make it something special. Maybe it's a bit cliched but my head keeps going to road trips around Scotland, scenery, castles and probably a good bit of drizzle. My parents honeymooned on Mull and always spoke so fondly of it, so I thought maybe it'd be good for me to carry on something of a tradition. We went there again when I was a teen and I remember a spectacular drive up to Oban, over to Mull on a CalMac, up to Tobermory and then all the way down to Iona. I'm thinking this might be a fantastic route to drive - and it would really add something to drive it in something pretty and preferably Italian. I'm not set on that route, but hopefully you get the idea.
So I'm wondering about the possibility and costs of hiring a Ghibli for the occasion - as much as I'm willing to splash out a bit, I probably couldn't stretch to a QP or GTS. I'm thinking it'll only be four days or so. I have never even hired a car before so have no idea at all where to start, so any pointers would be appreciated. Also any quiet and romantic stops or places to stay along the way if you know of any!
Thanks a bunch guys, hope you've all have lovely summers!
