This morning we head for Uig to catch the ferry over to the Isle of Harris once on Harris we make our first stop to shop for some authentic Harris Tweed. After a spot of shopping we make a quick stop for a picnic lunch. The reason for the quickness for lunch was all due to the weather being cold and windy. Last I checked I was travelling in Summer, I guess this is what you call a Scottish Summer.
OK, back in the bus as we make our way to Rodel Church, home to the tomb of Alisdair Crotach MacLeod. Now that we have had some insight into the Scottish history its time to check out the scenery lets check out some beaches (yeah!!! they have beaches - how would have thought). As a few of the group jump into the Scottish waters for a swim, I stand on the shore and keep warm ..... I mean watch.
After everyone dries off we make our way up into Lewis and over to the west coast where an amazing original Blackhouse (renovated for comfort!) is our home for the next 2 nights.
