Friday, 3 Sep 2010 | Views [363]

The following day there were quite a few bleary eyes on the bus, mine included, and we were glad to have been peer-pressured into catching the Malaig ferry across to the mainland, rather than taking the longer and apparently “vomit-inducing” ... Read more >

I got up early to take a short walk around the town in search of some islands in the river Neil mentioned the previous day. I didn’t find them…typical. Our first stop was to look for some dolphins in the river, and Graham (one of the Aussies) swore ... Read more >
