Scotland Day 2

Thursday, 11 July 2024

Another day, another zillion steps! Today Jon and I started the day with a little jog through a woodland park on the outskirts of the tiny town we are staying in. 

From there it was an early departure to get the 2nd ferry of the day from Malaig to the Isle of Skye - once again Zali was smart enough to make us book it months ago as it only fits 8 cars at a time and it was booked out for most of the day otherwise.   

Skye was of course spectacular - from the little villages to the waterfalls to the huge cliffs and fjords to the lochs and beaches and little islands.  Our day was too big to do a blow by blow account of our every stop but hopefully I can get enough internet to upload some pictures.

The weather was pretty blustery and cold all day which made the hardest earnt and most spectacular (apparently) tourist attraction the Old Man of Storr almost completely invisible in the mist and fog. Still - we consider ourselves lucky that it wasn't raining all day as Skye has something like 220 days of rain a year.

We've only just arrived at our hostel and Jon is whipping up dinner in the kitchen while we sit around in various states of exhaustion.
