We awoke to another cool wet windy day but were uplifted by a good hot shower round at Saucy Mary's. This was followed by a mellow coffee, we set up for our whistle stop tour of Skye. We were picked up by Ewen (thats what happens when you hang around street corners) and driven across the Skye bridge to Kyle of Lochalsh on the mainland! The train from Inverness arrives here and we had come to collect any last minute punters but there were none. Peter took the opportunity to buy himself a walking stick. We three set off in our personal 14 seater minibus and recrossed the Skye bridge accompanied by the Skye Boat Song.
What followed was a graphic history of Scotland from 1600 whilst peering through the mist at what we understand would have been stunning scenery had the rain stopped and the mist lifted. All in all it was a great day out as the alternative would have been to shiver on board the boat. We returned safely returned about 17.00hrs with just enough time for a snooze before the Archers.
As the rain had at last eased off we ventured the mile or so up the road to a well recommended Indian restaurant for another delicious meal. On our way home we stopped off at Saucy Mary's for a quick drambuie which we had earlier learned was originally produced on Skye, Peter was not impressed so it will be back to the single malts next time.
