This morning we went on a boat ride. The boat was FAST! We like! And I looooove the grin on Marjolein's face :-)
The captain first took us to yet another one of those little mills. This one was very much tucked away.
There it is!
This is where your Scottish salmon is grown! A farm has several of these floating nets.
They are all automatically fed by this feeding vessel.
I think Scotland is secretly testing nuclear weapons...
Remains of a small chapel and grave yard. These islands are so on the edge of the country that it's weird to think anybody lived there.
Then we went to the far side of the islands, basically on the Atlantic ocean. It's not pretty and green there anymore but it looks quite hostile there. I didn't feel very comfortable.
They feel much more comfortable...
And he/she did as well.
To one side there was land, well, some ;-)
To the other side there was nothing but ocean.
The captain and 3 others.
The boat. Very nice boat i should say. it was so fast. Once it started raining and he just sped off to get away from underneath the cloud :-)
This is a shed where we waited for the bus. You can ask a bus to stop whereever you like. Quite nice actually. They also drop you off wherever you like.
Little flowers.
We took the bus to Stornoway to walk the castle grounds.
This is a big statue made after the queen from the Lewis chessmen. The
Lewis chessmen are chess pieces that were found on Lewis in the 12th century.
The walk to the top of the hill didn't do me much to be honest. Receiving a shower every 15 minutes didn't help much... But when we got to the top we got some pretty awesome views. As a bonus we were treated on a rainbow as well :-)
I took this shot and the next and they look like paintings!
I think I'll have to enlarge this and hang it up at work...
Stornoway harbour.
