Skye's the Limit

We begin our a morning seafood/fishing experience with local fisherman Neil.   So it was time to get our hands dirty and see if we can collect some scallops for dinner. Umm.... so we did OK but I must admit we are far from colleting enough to sell and make a living. Guess it will be back to desk work for me.  

As we bid farwell to Neil we head to Portree for some fish & chips for lunch. Just watch out as the local seagulls like to swoop down and take your food, and right out of your hand too.  After fight to eat my lunch we head to hills to start exploring the Isle of Skye. 

Before our hike we have a brief stop to see the Old Man of Storr which is an incredible Jurassic Pillar and also hear some tales and legends surrounding the MacDonalds adn MacLeods, the two main Clans of the island.

As we hike through the Isle of Skye we see several sheep and never ending green hills and ..... wait guys I think we are going the wrong way.... ummm weren't we ment to go right back there???? So instead of back tracking we decide to take the hike off road and make our own track. OK so a little messy and unsafe but hey we all live to tell the tale. Bruce Yep!!! Should have taken that "Right Turn at the ???" Where?

After our off the beaten track walk we make it to the hostel ready to cook our scallops for dinner. Yum!! Can't Wait!!!
