+ Monday, Sept 5 -- Yesterday's travel was as scenic and memorable as any day I can remember. The Isle of Skye is truly amazing. We were in a tour on a van lasting 5 hours. Rain and fog were replaced with sunshine early in the afternoon. It was beautiful during the most scenic and interesting part of the trek. It was a wild ride especially on a single track road in the higher elevations.
+ Monday, Sept 5 -- Heather is everywhere in the Highlands. Beautiful purple blanket stretched out up and.down and all around. Today we are on one of Scotland's most scenic rail routes: Kyle of Lochalsh to Inverness.
+ Monday, Sept 5 -- Last night our timing was perfect. We finished the tour of Skye in Kyle of Lochalsh. This town is on the mainland acoss the kyle from Kyleakin. First a pint of ale, then I got a taxi rideto see the Eilean Donan castle. Then a delicious dinner. The best was yet to come. We decided to walk back to Kyleakin. Two miles. But spectacular. We saw a supurb sunset as we walked over the kyle on the bridge built in 1995.
