Kyleakin and Kyle March 5, 2010
Posted by Chris in : Isle of Skye , trackbackToday, the first full day on/around the Isle of Skye was a cloudy one, just clearing up in the late afternoon, with a wee bit of rain.
Despite the weather, we enjoyed a continental breakfast before taking the bus over to Kyle, just across the water from Kyleakin.
We walked around the town, stepped into a couple of shoppes, and even had a great lunch at a small restaurant, toasted sandwich with ham, mushrooms, and brie.
After lunch and some more browsing, we stopped in The Cooperative, a local grocery, to do some shopping. about 23 quid (pounds) should hold us for a few days, saving us a bundle on restaurant eating! We found a package of braised beef at about 1.5 lb for 4 quid; we’ll be adding it to our spaghetti we bought, to something for breakfast, and who knows what else!
After we finished up in Kyle, we went back to the bus stop and realized that we’d be waiting for 2 hours for the next bus so we decided to walk across the tall bridge back to Skye. We were afraid that the walk would be more than we wanted to do but were glad to have walked once we were done. 
The views from the bridge were stunning and unobtainable riding on a bus. Several of the views of Skye seemed to be picturesque Scottish Highlands.
About halfway through our walk from Kyle back to Saucy Mary’s in Kyleakin the sky started to clear up, showing a bit of sun for the first time today and letting us warm up a bit. While the top of the bridge was windy, it wasn’t too cold to not feel great!
In response to Tiff’s computer issues, we saw a shoppe in Kyle that does computer repair so we’re planning to head back there tomorrow morning to see about getting her computer looked at, hopefully they can help (I don’t have any tools that can open a computer-_-).
No matter what you’re looking for, I doubt that you expect to see Sheep Droppings in a shoppe in a small town like Kyle. We saw these and had to take a picture because it was too funny to see in a small shoppe selling woolens.
