We drove all over the Isle of Skye on Day 7! It was a very interesting weather day- it seemed like it changed every 10 minutes. One of the highlights was the Quiraing. It is one of the most unique landscapes that I have ever seen. Unfortunately, this was one of the times that the weather decided to be uncooperative! We wandered for a few minutes just taking it all in and took a few pictures, but it was really windy up there which completely freaked me out. Karen kept laughing at me because I couldn't bring myself to walk upright due to my innate, irrational fear of being blown away. Pretty quickly I said, "we'd better not walk any farther up- it might rain soon." Within about a minute hail began pelting us quite dramatically! Karen began screaming, "owwww!" and I turned and hightailed it back to the car, laughing and laughing at her yelling at the hail for hurting her! Once in the safety of the car, Karen told me that she was laughing at me because I had thrown all caution to the wind as I ran down the hill...and this after slowly, carefully picking my way up the hill all hunched over. We laughed for a while at each other and then wandered around for a few more minutes, but then decided that it was just too precarious to try to hike any further into the Quiraing. This is a place that I would totally love to visit again when the weather is a little bit more reliable!
