Quietish day today, went down to Kyleakin to see the Brightwater Centre, which talks about Gavin Maxwell and his books. While there booked to go over to the Island to see his house.
Look!! The bridge does exist!! Underneath it is where we booked to go to this afternoon.
So went back to the cottage for a chill & lunch & then went to Eilean Bàn, the Island where Maxwell lived for a while before he died. He lived in the lighthouse cottages which he knocked into one house. Lovely place, although you only get to see one rather large room, full of his things. You can rent the rest of the cottage & have the Island to yourself ........ tempting!!
They then took us to the lighthouse & they went up to the top - I don't do ladders so i had to stay at the bottom!!!
After that we went into the otter hide - but no otters today!! It was a lovely trip & well worth missing the England game for!!
Well tomorrows the last day, it should be a good one as we're going on a full day safari, but it means the end of the holiday, quite sad really.
