I feel this will be a nice change from backpacking around Europe on my own (I just finished a three week backpacking trip last Sunday). Someone will let me know what is important, where to go, I will be driven around on a coach, a hostel is already chosen and most importantly I don't have to change to euros or try to learn another language.

Luckily the weather has been decent here in Edinburgh so I hope that the same weather pattern will extend over to Skye. I doubt it.

The trip will also take me to Loch Ness for part of tomorrow on the way to Skye. Last time I was at Loch Ness was ten years ago with my grandmother and brother. Surprisingly it was raining, in Scotland, who would have thought.
