Hello and welcome back! Hello! So we're still on the Isle of Skye and we start this video
with a walk. Yeah, we're walking to the Point of Sleat - which is the southernmost point on the
isle and we heard it's amazing. Yes, everybody told us that it's a really enjoyable walk. Yes.
The weather is perfect for it. It's a little bit overcast, not too hot so yeah, let's check it out.
[Music]
Are you alright
there? It's quite steep.
About 400 more meters and then we should be there. The walk isn't too bad. Usually it would take you
one hour roundabout. We just always need more time because we try to film as much as possible
but I just, my entire body is covered with bites.
Midges really got me and Jörg is completely fine or almost fine. They just come for me.
And it's really quiet as well. So far we only met four people so that's really nice and it's
Sunday today. We made it to the southernmost point on Sky and there's hardly anyone here.
This here is the Isle of Eigg and on the right is the Isle of Rum.
And both of them are also part of the Inner Hebrides.
[Music]
Jörg,
this beach is a little bit like heaven on earth. Yeah.
It's amazing. It's a very secret speech. It is. [Music] This morning
we actually have different plans. We switched it up a little. And I said to Jörg, well, I'm wearing
eyeliner. Going for a walk people will say 'What the hell is she wearing?' I know but we just left
the hotel and I didn't change it. I just. So when you take this walk make sure to bring some water.
And wear good shoes. Yes definitely because at first Jörg said the walk is completely flat but
it's not. And another thing if you want to get away from work and simply want to recharge, this
is the place because there is no phone signal. The entire area doesn't have a phone signal.
Only in the lighthouse. Where? The lighthouse. The
lighthouse did have a friend signal. So yeah, it needs one. It needs one.
[Music] We just freshened up a little bit and came down to the drawing room of our hotel to enjoy a
cup of tea and a sandwich because Jörg and I said that we will explore later after dinner. That's
the good thing about being close to mid-summer, we can enjoy exploring until very late. [Music]
Tonight we came to this famous landmark here on Skye. We've came across it so many times on social
media and always find it so beautiful. It's called Sligachan Old Bridge. This bridge was built by
Thomas Telford I think between 1810 and 1818. And Thomas Telford was a very famous civil engineer.
We've been to Scotland so many times but this year it's absolutely crazy with the midges. I
think I'm covered in the hundred bites. My entire body is like and although we have the spray,
it didn't really work. They seem to be resistant to it. I don't know. Jörg, Jörg, we are being
attacked. Oh my goodness. Ah. It is so crazy. It's like a quarter to 9pm and they are coming out.
And it's so crazy because they are tiny tiny tiny.
[Music]
Just a little detour to Portree which is the capital on Skye and then we head back to the hotel
to go to bed. It's almost 10 o'clock but look how bright it is. [Music]
Good morning! It's our last day at the lodge. We will leave Skye later in the afternoon and
we're going to have breakfast any minute now. You know what? We actually have rain today
and both of us are quite grateful because we were longing for colder weathers. You probably can't
see it but it's raining but the midges are really bad this morning. Good morning. Good morning.
What are you having? Fruit salad. Jörg, we have rain. [Music]
Well, finally we have a moody Scotland. It's not a moody Scotland, it's just raining. Yes
but I'm enjoying it. Yeah. So. I think this is what a lot of people expect Scotland to be. I
know. Yeah. Yes. Foggy, rainy, wet. But here at least the midges aren't too bad - no - because
this morning we were they were like attacking us. Yeah. It was so bad. It was crazy. [Music]
We're here at Ord Beach which is a coral beach on the Sleat Peninsula and the birdsong here
is quite strong. It almost feels as if the birds are also happy about the rain. [Music]
So these are the remains of Dunscaith Castle.
I don't know when it's been destroyed but I've seen pictures in the hotel where you
could see how it must have looked like when it was let's say, not a ruin. [Music]
So it's not possible to get into the castle because you can see,
I have to get over here and I'm alone so I won't try that because if I fall it's probably
4meters, five meters. Yeah. No, I'm not gonna do that.
So we're going to leave Skye in about an hour and our initial plan was just to use
the Skye Bridge the way we came. Yeah but now we're taking a ferry. Yes. And the ferry from
Armadale to Mallaig. It was Jörg's idea which I think it's a brilliant idea. Yes and I think
it would be fun. Yeah. Takes half an hour and was 17 pounds - yeah - so let's go to
Armadale now. One little thing before we will board the ferry. In case you missed the first
part of our Skye video where we share where we stayed, what we did and what we saw, have
a look because we think you will really really love it. Right, let's continue with the video.
[Music]
See, who's in front of us? Germans.
Where is it? East Germany, it's from East Germany. It says Middle Saxonia. Mittelsachsen. But what's
the the city? It doesn't say any city. Okay. Well - but the city says look Brand-Erbisdorf. [Music]
This is a very small ferry as you can see and we only booked it last night.
[Music]
Tada. A new hairdo. That's the ferry hairdo. Not fairy. Ferry. Yeah,
I didn't say fairy. Ferry. Ferry hairdo. I wish it was a fairy hairdo. Afraid it's not.
You know what we spotted? A whale. And Jörg I actually I googled again the fin.
We believe it was an orca. Maybe. But it was about 30/40 meters next to the ferry and we couldn't,
it it wasn't possible to film it but I got so excited because I I was hoping to see to see it
like the entire whale. I've been always fascinated with whales. That was amazing. Even even if we
only saw its fin. Just ignore the hair. I can't do anything about it. The weather is pretty bad but I
I don't mind it. It's fine. And we actually met a very nice man
on board the ferry. He, Jörg, you talked longer to him. Yeah. He he's originally from
North London - yes - and he he's like traveling with his bike. So he came up with the train -
yeah - did Skye and then now he's going back to Glasgow and then to London. And he was so kind.
Some people just talk to you and you somehow like almost make friends with strangers. It's
so nice. I was hoping for a cup of tea or water ferry but there is no shop. There's
there's anything apart from toilets. Okay, we've arrived and we will just drive off.
Bye.
That was quick. So that was really quick and we took the ferry not not because we save a lot of
time. Actually we don't really. No. But um, we just took it for fun. Yeah and it's less driving.
Like yeah, that's true. It's less, uh,
I think the the the route is shorter but we don't really save any time in total.
Maybe can stop for tea. I really fancy a cuppa as always. Look the Harry Potter train. [Music]
Good morning. Good morning. So yesterday after the ferry we weren't really able to film
because well, we didn't stop. Yeah, we were just driving. Yes and it took us
about six and a half hours. It was. I was I was really exhausted but you were as well. Ys because
six and a half hours in the car is a long time. Yeah without a break and we were just hungry.
And that's why we split this journey into two bits. Yeah because otherwise it would have been
10 hours and more. Van you hear the cat? I think she wants to be filmed. She wants to be on camera.
There she is. Oh so cute. Good morning. Do you want to be on camera?
Hi.
This is our new furry friend. She or he is very beautiful. Hi. We're going home now and we hope
you liked our Isle of Skye videos. Yeah, I just found it very spectacular there. Yes,
it's an amazing island. Not as small as you would think. It's quite big. Yeah, it is. We didn't see
all of it. We probably have to return someday. Yes and thank you so much for watching. This place was
amazing as well. We have to come back to Galloway and Dumfries to explore. Yeah, I think it's a nice
nice area of the UK. It is. And as always we'll see you again very soon so goodbye. Bye. Bye bye.
