ISLE OF SKYE

I'll give this a shot tonight before I go to sleep and see if I can fill you in for the day.
We are on our 3 day bus tour and it is WONDERFUL ! We have traveled from Edinburgh this morning up through Scotland and the Western Highlands through some of the most amazing country. By this afternoon we took a ferry to the Isle of Skye where we are staying for the night. This is the sort of country that fairies live in. Totally out of your realm of imagination and beyond your wildest dreams.  In spite of the fact that it started to rain this afternoon it only made the country side seem more surreal.
We stopped at an old castle on the shore just before heading on to Skye and that was most amazing. The hills and mountains are all shrouded in clouds and some even have snow on their peaks. It is a wild and savage land that has such amazing beauty.
Tonight we stay in a B&B on Skye and tomorrow our mini bus of 14 will tour the isle itself. We are taking hundreds of pictures and making new friends of our fellow travelers.
Have a great night. It's time for sleep.
