When James and I got into the car this morning the first song on the radio was On the Road Again by Willie Nelson, which I thought was very appropriate as we set off for our long weekend in Skye. We had a pleasant road trip, listening to the radio and chatting, but oh my goodness I had forgotten how long it takes to get to Skye! James drove about two and a half hours to Fort William, where we stopped for lunch at the Crannog and had a goodly walk about the town to stretch our legs. And then I drove another two and a half hours via Kyle of Lochalsh to reach our destination of Portnalong on Skye.
Luckily there were only a few roadworks, mainly in Glencoe, and the weather was beautiful so we were treated to many beautiful views of mountains and lochs on our journey.
When we arrived in Portnalong we quickly settled into the hostel. Our room isn’t en suite but the communal bathrooms are very clean I’m glad to say. We soon made our way with Cornel to the nearby pub, Taigh Ailean, which is very cosy and friendly. When Christine, Gerry, Ally and Cat arrived we all had an excellent dinner in the pub, glad that our holiday weekend has got off to a good start.
