Wet day

Lots of rain overnight and today - must mean washing day. Popped in to the only laundrette in the area as soon as they opened but they were fully booked. Could squeeze us in later but meant hanging about until way after lunch. There’s definitely a business opportunity up here for laundrettes for travelers as they are so few and far between! Quick brekkie then left Ullapool and headed on back through the highlands in the rain and lots of scotch mist, bit grim but still scenic. Stopped at wet Gairloch beach. Beautiful and sandy but no point hanging about so did a fam chat and brewed a tea in the van. Good to see they have blazing sun down that way. Onward to Victoria Falls in Achnasheen. As it has rained a lot, it was a good flow. Quick walk round then carried on south to Reraig where our campsite is plus the local village has a community laundrette. The village is on the entrance to the Isle of Skye, tomorrow’s plan. The rain had eased so we went for a wander around the small village whilst waiting for the clothes to finish then on to our campsite which is very peaceful by the sea surrounded by hills and woodland. Had dinner then went for a little hilly walk amongst the bluebells and flowering, yellow gorse. V pretty. Gary was struggling with the steepness though with his ankle still being slightly swollen. It is very slowly easing. As we’re in the area we watched Highlander classic movie from the 80s just to get us in the mood for tomorrow.Leggi altro
