Fort William to Isle of Skye

I think it's time for a quick summary of food highlights so far:

Best breakfast

Peter: - Big Bear breakfast on Islay – Bacon, Oban sausages (fantastic), eggs, beans, tomato, , potato scone
Mary – scrambled eggs with smoked salmon at Newton Hall, inverary (made only with butter & no milk)

Best Lunch

Peter & Mary: Seafood shack at Oban

Best Dinner

Mary: Fish & Langoustines at the George Hotel, Inverary
Peter:  Ditto

We had  an excellent dinner at the B & B, followed by drinks and good conversation with Bev and Toby. It was wet and wild outside and to eat in was a good option. This couple combine the right amount of friendliness with professionalism. Although he hasn't lived in Australia for 20 yrs, he's more Australian than a lot of men we know.

We got away from Fort William mid morning on Monday. Bev advised us to take the 'old coastal road' and we had brilliant scenery all the way. We stopped off at Glenfiddan, famous for both the Glenfiddan monument, built in honour of Bonnie Prince Charles, and the Glenfiddan Viaduct, from the Harry Potter movie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We caught the ferry to Isle of Skye, only a 30 min trip but it was a pretty wild ride:

 

We arrived into the Port of Armadale, about an hour's drive from Portree where we had booked a B  B, Fisher's Rock.  It's very modern with a view of Portree Harbour (with seals frolicking outside our window Tuesday morning):

More soon after we go exploring Skye.
