We had a very easy start this morning, our ferry to Skye is now due to arrive here at midday, so there was no rush to do anything.
We checked out around 10:45am and drove the 2 mins to the ferry check-in area. Once parked we went out to find something for lunch. We eventually got a takeaway bacon and egg roll each from the pub, there were very slim pickings in town.
The ferry arrived on time at midday, and we were on-board and sailing away before 12:40pm. We are both amazed at how efficient the ferry companies are at the turnaround of the ferries.
Lunch was tasty and we sat back for an easy cruise over to Uig on Skye. We set the gps in the car for our hotel, so it is easy once on Skye, and we love it when “Nora” says, “Board the ferry” ?
It was a smooth trip over to Skye, around an 1hr 40mins, we were off the boat and into Portree at our accommodation at 3:40. Unfortunately our room wasn’t ready, so we went into town, put a load of washing on and went for a walk around town. Portree is a “typical” seaside touristy town, lost of cafes, pubs and restaurants and outdoor shops. As usual, the tide was out when we got to the waterfront, that seems to be the case often around here. Boats high and dry on the sand.
We booked into a tapas seafood place for tea on Monday and its a pub down the hill for tea tonight.
Exploring Skye tomorrow, where and how much will depend on the weather. But hey, we all know they don’t get it right ?
