The Waverley

Although the funeral and associated events were saddening, my spirits were lifted by the absolutely fantastic weather. I am adamant that there is no better place on earth than the Isle of Skye when the sun is shining. The fact that this rarely occurs is therefore a major drawback.

Mark and I stayed an additional day on Skye after the funeral and drove back to Inverness on Thursday 28th April. As we were in no rush, we decided to drive the scenic Meoll (sp?) Road, just after the golf course at Sconser. The views across the water to Raasay were magical and the sight of The Waverley paddle steamer powering down the Sound of Raasay was as enjoyable as it was fortuitous. Certainly a sight to remember!
