A few days at
Dunvegan were enough to see the northern part of the island, but
Elgol is worth a visit too, so we've been told. Next we drive south and stay the night a
Elgol and later along
Loch Slapin. On the way to
Elgol we enjoy a beautiful drive south of
Struan and make a brief stop at
Slagachan, where we read up on some information about the
Cuillins. We stop briefly for lunch at a nice spot on
Loch Slapin before we end up at
Elgol.
As Henny has left the group when at
Ben Nevis, it's now only us four women together. As the sun is out in its full glory the three Dutch women enjoy sunbathing at the little beach. I have long ago learned to shy the sun, and can enjoy the beach at home every day if I would like to, so I want to do some more exploring and go on a short boat trip.
The trip brings me across from
Elgol, closer to the
Cuillins and
Loch Coruisk and on the way we can see the
Inner Hybrides. Close to the other side the captain brings us close up to a spot frequented by seals who like to do their own 'sunbathing'. It's a playful little group.
The next day Dieuwer, our painter in the group, finds a spot near the beach and harbour and spends her day painting. Evelien and Ankie go for short walks and more sunbathing and I stay with the camper and enjoy another day of reading.
On the way back from
Elgol we stop for the night at
Loch Slapin.
