• Day 6. Isle of Skye

    November 23, 2023 in Scotland ⋅ 🌬 7 °C

    Today we woke up to such a view after a very blustery night, we carried on heading our way around the island firstly stopping at Neist Lighthouse, we didn't realise it was a good walk from the car park and the weather was rolling in so decided to carry on. We took a road over the top of a mountain which was super exciting and went past cows and sheep blocking the road. Next stop was a place called fairy Glen, upon arrival you could so tell why it was called Fairy Glen, as it looked like something out of the Hobbit. Rolling pointy small hills and big rock formations, we explored here for an hour or 2 and we all made it to the top of the tall formation (including old smaggie bless her).
    After exploring we needed to find a campsite to do the toilet and restock on water, we found one close and got Electric hook up for the night to restock battery's. £28 for us all for the night, but was worth it for the shower and emptying the tanks. It was very blustery again and we staying beachfront at a place called Uig which was a busy harbour. We explored here and the beach and came across a big spotted ray dead on the shore, it was huge.
    We then went and cooked a Thai curry which was delicious and the van doesn't smell of curry after which is a plus, the ventilation is working well. We looked at our next move onwards and played rummikub. Getting used to van life now and loving it. We started a new series in bed on BBC1 called boat story and then went to bed.
