Ahhhh, I love Skye. This island is part of the Inner Hebrides. I had been here before on a Haggis tour with Steph, back in 1999 (I think?). I loved it then, and I like it even more now. It's mountainous, scenic, and there are lochs, bays, and streams everywhere.

As soon as I got off the ferry in Uig, I felt better, like my journey was back on track. The weather had finally cleared up and I was feeling renewed. I then had a sudden dilemma. This was Saturday, and I needed to get to a hostel for Sat and Sun, because no buses run on Sunday. This was doubly bad when I realized it was a bank holiday weekend. So I showed up in Portree, the main town on Skye (Steph, the one where you bought that celtic batik, remember?) with no where to stay and no real hope of finding somewhere. I tried B&Bs all over because the hostel was full.

I nearly cried when the tourist info people couldn't help. So I wandered the streets, looking for a room. I then decided to poke my head in the hostel to see if they had any cancellations. SCORE! They did. Whew. I booked in for 2 nights. I then spent the rest of the day relaxing and drinking tea. :) Ahhhh.... it's all good.
