Today Katherine and Izabela collected me from Calton Hill in Edinburgh and we started our road trip to Skye. It was good to be on the road again. After a quick lunch stop at Loch Lagaan we pushed on to Fort William where we lost track of time...

Suddenly there was a mad rush to catch the ferry to Raasay from Sconser. The GPS said 2h15 to the terminal and we only had 1h45! With Izabela at the wheel, me on navigation and Katherine on the phone to delay the last ferry, we made it by the skin of our teeth!

We checked into Raasay house which is situated right at the ferry terminal. What a great place to stay. Big rooms, awesome breakfast and friendly staff! I was quite ill today but took some time at sunset to go down to the harbour and contemplate the possibilities that lie ahead.
