The next day we had a rather full program. In case it didn’t transpire so far: it was raining. I disassembled the tent in said rain and we drove on to see some waterfalls. My wife is a big fan of waterfalls … 🙄

In Scotland, the road does not exclusively belong to the cars …

On the hiking trail to the waterfall there were some nice views to be had …

Snacks in front of the waterfall of the day !

After the exciting waterfall we drove on to catch another ferry. On route, we passed the Harry Potter Hogwarts express.

This time the ferry brought us from the main (is)land to a smaller one called Skye …

 

In case you haven’t been on a car ferry: you need to disable your car alarm, otherwise the waves will trigger it. The guy parking behind me forgot that, and the poor staff tending the lower deck suffered for the three hour trip from his car alarm. I am pretty sure they made sure he’ll not forget it again …

After some more hour we arrived in Portree, where we pitched our tent in the pouring rain (again).

Just half an hour later, rain was  replaced by a light drizzle and I prepared a batch of Cullen Skink, using some lovely smoked haddock we picked up in Portree itself.

Just as an interesting side note: the daytime temperature of our arrival was 11 oC, one degree above what it is now in November 🤗
