After several wrong turns I finally found Engebrets on the road to the airport. The station was packed; cars lined up six deep at every pump. After 15 minutes of waiting I was able to fill my tank. But even after filling up I had to wait in a queue for 15 minutes to pay (I was also buying some beer, and Engebrets is the only place on Lewis you can get beer on Sunday. The new filling station in Pairc will be much appreciated – although you’ll still need to drive to Stornoway for beer….Marc Calhounhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01337842920912493787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558519647531859980.post-78927751782340677002013-10-25T08:04:51.278-07:002013-10-25T08:04:51.278-07:00Thanks John.
