Portree

This morning was the calm after yesterday's storm. Marge remained leak free overnight. Today the forecast further south was better so that's where we're heading Marge. As we left Shieldaig it basked in an autumn light high-lighting the beauty all around. 

Right Marge. Today we're going to pop back over to the Isle of Skye. What again? Yes. There's a beach we want to visit and Wednesdays weather forecast is good so we're going to take a look.

Our journey to Skye was pleasant. Pretty, stunning, beautiful, amazing, wow inducing views all the way. As we approached Skye, we could see the Skye bridge clearly sitting beneath a ribbon of cloud.

First stop Marge Kyleakin for John to forage mussels. Unfortunately, the tide was in, so they weren't accessible. Never mind, there may be an opportunity somewhere else. 

An overnight space was awaiting Marge in Portree with a view into the natural harbour. After being confined in Marge most of yesterday we were keen to walk out, so headed for the town calling at the bookshop to buy The Photographers Guide to Scotland, covering Skye, Glen Coe and The Trossachs.

Then ventured out of the town to the Scorrybreac Trail where we stopped to watch a young man wake boarding in the harbour. Portee was busy. It is the Scottish autumn half term holiday and of course the people of Scotland want to enjoy their beautiful country as well. 

We are off to the other side of the island tomorrow to visit Coral beach. Then we must plan the last two weeks of our trip. 

Any ideas Marge?
