What a great day! Woke up at 7:45 with only a vague idea of catching busses round the island. The 8:30 to Uig is the first to go so I hope on it. The driver asks me if I'm going to catch the ferry. AMeer informatie

The 1 hour crossing is smooth as silk and soon I'm in St. Margaret's Hope. There's 50 minutes wait for the bus, but luckily a pub.
Bus to Kirkwall and find hostel which is about 1 km out of town.
