Yet another blue sky morning. The wind cool, but still perfect conditions to do a wash. Today was also the day to try out the showers here. One pound gives you two minutes under a shower that takes thirty seconds for the water to warm. If you think two minutes isn't enough time to take a shower, throw this into the mix. You insert the pound coin into a slot around the corner from the shower and the water starts to flow. Miraculously Angela managed to undress and shower in the two minutes. So a lazy morning, whiling away the time sorting out in Marge and chatting with Heather our neighbour who'd decided today after her walk, and a last cup of tea with us, to pack up and move a little way along the coast to a campsite.
After lunch we spoke to a man who unloaded a beautifully crafted coracle he'd built from his campervan, not something we expected to see on this trip, before setting off to a free spot a little further up on Barra.
Settling Marge we walked out onto the beach, a little concerned about a sign alerting us to quicksand.
Keeping to the edge we soon discovered an abundance of sea glass which we begin to gather for John's project. After the beautiful park up of the last two nights this new place wasn't doing it for us, so we decided to drive around the island checking out the other areas.
It was lovely driving the islands roads, quiet, late in the day with the sun warming us through the windscreen.
At Barra airport we stopped a while to look at the vast beach runway where two flights arrive from Glasgow each day. Time now getting on, we decided to return to Vatersey where we've spent the last two nights. It really is the only place to stay, with the stunning views and excellent facilities. Not to be beaten. Angela's up for another two minutes shower dash!
