Dolphins ahead !

Day 12 : Stornoway to Rogart
Km drivem : 293 (we have reached the 3000 km milestone)

And so, today, we arose before 5 am, and creeped out of the bedroom as quietly as we could. Little did we know that the other woman in it took the same ferry. Getting in it was a little bit tricky,  with Lilly taking the car in with only our name, and me queuing until the last moment to get our tickets (we had a reservation). But everything turned out well.

On the ferry, we had the pleasure of seeing dolphins (it might have been porpoises) next to us, and finally got to see some Scottish wildlife ! We also met our roommate of the night,  a dynamic Canadian who asked if she could spend the day with us (she wanted to see the places where we were going). We took her in.

And so we left for a day of travelling through the country,  first along the West Coast and then to the north.  We stopped at a lighthouse for lunch and had a walk on the cliffs. The whole day was spent driving (from Ullapool to Lochinver,  Kylesku, Durness, Tongue, then back to Lairg), stopping to take pictures.

As we were still tired from our short night, we were happy to arrive at our hostel. Tonight,  we are sleeping in a train carriage in a garden (our new friend is sleeping there too, and we had to negotiate with the other guests to make it work).
