going to kilt rock & lealt falls
after a good break relishing great oysters & lobster at oyster shed,
and it was still raining, we decided to just go to our next hotel, skeabost hotel, and checked in.
weather was unpredictable. we rested in the room for 1hr+. then we drove to kilt rocks & mealt falls.

it was a nice coastal drive.
the road runs along the coast on the right,
and the spectacular ridge of hills called trotternish ridge runs over 30km on the left.
we had a good if misty view of old man of storr from a distance. there was still a bit of drizzle.

it was cold & windy there was still a slight drizzle.
we could not wait out for better weather. the views were amazing, and it was invigorating walking the outdoors & looking over the gorge, cliffs and sea. the evening drive was well worth it. ^^
we made the return journey to portree, a tiny picturesque hamlet along the coast.
