This is going to be my last "Scottish Highlands" post. We spent 3 nights on the Isle of Skye and experienced almost all weather conditions from storms, mist, and light rain to sunshine and clear skies. Despite having grand plans for long hikes and mountain climbing we soon discovered that we were woefully unprepared without waterproof clothes and shoes so we settled for a few shorter walks instead.

We stayed in a fantastic hostel called Skyewalkers. There was a bit of a starwars theme but not too over the top. Mainly it was just a really friendly hostel. The owners used to play folk music professionally and they gave a great mini concert one night. They were really good - I would have paid to see them.

| River crossing. The first creek we spent about 20 minutes finding a way across without getting our feet wet. At the second one we gave up and just walked through. |
