Skye Part Deux

Here's the end of the trip to Skye. Days four, five and six involved more of the same: walking, drinking, wandering PLUS hiring a car and driving around only non-single track roads on the island. this proved to be a rather large task.

We spent day four in the rockin' village of Portree, the largest 'settlement' on the island. As my memory recalls, we had a forty minute wander around every single shop in town, followed by pizza, a boat trip with a grumpy scottish man and then copious amounts of very cheap whisky.

don't be a div?


on our way to the boat trip


my first time driving in the UK! slightly scary for the first two hours...


the road up to fairy glen. also an example of a road i definitely would not drive up. if you look off far into the distance where the land juts out into the sea, that's where we parked. and then hauled our bums up four hours of hills


near the tiny town of Uig

last day of walking...the weather got nasty as we headed for Broadford. We had brilliant cake at a beautiful tea house cum hotel, saw seals from afar and nearly hit a sheep crossing the road through the mist of the Cuillin Hills. v scary.




the view from Dawn's parents' window and a lovely way to end the trip...notice the weather starting to turn
