On the Road: The Highlands once more

I'm currently in a delightful Bed and Breakfast outfit called The White Heather. It's close to sub-zero temperatures in Kyleakin, on the Isle of Skye but today was absolutely awesome! I'm mentally kicking myself for not bringing along my SD card reader because by the looks of it, I'm going to have a massive amount of pictures after my 3 week Easter break - 114 pictures today and I think that's modest compared to my dad who has amassed over a thousand images since Wednesday!

Am on a 3-day Scottish highlands tour with my family. The route covered by the tour bus is almost identical to the one I took about 3 weeks ago with my own friends, however, now that the snow has melted (somewhat), and the Spring colours are emerging, I'm discovering a vastly different landscape. It doesn't hurt that today was an absolutely gorgeous day contrary to the more wintry scenes we encountered the last time. Now it's all clear blue skies and bright sunshine - one of the rare 47 days in a year when the summit of Ben Nevis is actually visible!

I will get around to uploading photos once I have the chance to do so - but in the absence of images, I can only gush rather incoherently. Absolutely, absolutely breath-taking scenery. Simply s.p.e.c.t.a.c.u.l.a.r. I'm so glad I'm back here!!!

And dinner gets a special mention here. If you ever find yourself in the Isle of Skye, pop by Creeler's Restaurant in the town of Broadford for seafood. We had scallops, lobsters, monk fish and seafood gumbo - the food is orgasmic and is coupled by faultless service in a cosy and intimate setting. And best of all, the food served is made using fresh local produce from the Island itself! Yum. 

Alright, will go bathe and get some rest. Tomorrow, we tour Skye and I can't wait! I just hope the forecast for 'liquid sunshine' doesn't actually materialize though :( Will keep my fingers crossed for good weather!
