Driving on this road is quite scary
It is so cold
in case you are new here, we are Mansoureh and Bruno an Iranian and Italian couple making
travel videos here on YouTube. If you haven't subscribed yet please do it means a lot to us
good morning from cloudy Portree! Portree is the main city in the Isle of Skye. since we woke up it
was rainy and foggy. Now the rain stopped and to be honest we don't really care about the rain
as long as it's not stormy I mean I love it like if it wasn't cloudy it wasn't Scotland you know
since we arrived in Scotland we had warm and sunny days I love this one too
we were just driving and I don't know exactly how this happened
a stone, a small stone just hit our windshield and it cracked our windshield a bit
and it's just annoying when something like this happened
our first stop is Fairy Pools. some people avoid coming to Fairy Pools
in July and August because of the midges
since today was raining and there is a breeze we thought we will be fine we were talking to one
of the parking staff and she was saying that in the morning the situation with the midges was so
bad but right now she just suggested us to keep walking and we also cover all of our bodies
challenge of the day we need to cross the river and I was reading around if it's raining really
hard, crossing the river around here will be challenging but right now it seems fine
got that long legs advantage
we didn't expect here to be busy did we? no at the hotel when we were talking to people
they were all like yeah probably we're gonna stay in today but there's a lot of people here
when we were checking the forecast it was saying 90 percent 97 percent or even 100
rain throughout the day. well anyway, it's not raining but no complain. for now, we're good
Fairy Pools are famous for swimming but the water is cold just remember even
if it's sunny the water is cold I don't think I'm going to swim
can I put my feet inside the water I can't resist
so cold
I am not going to swim because there are too many people here
and actually, I didn't bring my swimsuit
we just walked a bit farther from the main pools and here is quiet like there are less people definitely
and you can find a private pool yeah we came up here just to check how it is you can
continue alongside the river I think it splits up here into two but yeah we have decided that maybe
we can go to the next spot instead. We are driving towards the west and there is a castle we want to
visit after the castle we are driving to the Neist Point where there is a lighthouse and we should
have a great view hopefully, I mean I don't know if the cloud lets us but yeah we are doing that
driving in the Isle of Skye is enjoyable actually right now because we have a bit of
light when it was foggy we couldn't really see but now the sun is kind of out we can see better
some roads here look like they are out of a fairy tale just so gorgeous
we arrived at Dunvegan castle or Dunvegan castle I'm not sure how to pronounce it
and we had two choices for the tickets we could get the ticket for the castle and the garden
only the garden and yeah it was only two pounds different so we got the one
for both so we can also have a look inside and it was 14 pounds each so 28 for the two of us
they also had like a seal's trip where you can actually, go with the boat and get a view of
the castle from the water and also see some seals apparently but unfortunately that one is
sold out for today so we cannot do that one but will have a look at the castle from the garden
we queued to enter the dungeon I mean definitely, dungeon is not a nice place
there's someone there
I can see a boat let me fire the cannon
this garden is quite huge and it has almost
everything it has a river a lot of bridges and also waterfalls
I think this is the calendar actually and the other side is the clock
I think we are the last one in the garden, we should go
out before they close the door on us and locked us inside the garden
look at this sheep they broke the fence actually you are happy there
driving on this road is quite scary I couldn't see if any cars coming or not I should drive
really carefully and slowly and because the road is so narrow just for one car but it's
actually a two-way road and also apart from that there are a lot of holes sometimes on the road
and sometimes animals like sheep. come on! there isn't grass on the road why aren't you coming
on the road? I don't understand but we are safe and right here and as you can see it is foggy
this shouldn't be a long walk. it's quite scenic
this point is one of the most famous lighthouses in Scotland and it is located on the most westerly tip
of the Isle of Skye. the walk from the car park to the lighthouse is around 2.2 kilometres
these sheep are so funny they just look at us it's like should I go away or you should go
to other side just like they are thinking and you see that they are thinking in their eyes and then
they start talking to each other and calling each other oh avoid these people they are crazy
we have been told that this place offers the best view on the Isle of Skye
but the view is probably much better when it's not foggy like today
when we started Walking there were so many people on the path and actually I think
at some point, they decided to go back. I don't know why they saw the view and they said it's
enough I don't want to go to the lighthouse and now we are the only one here or maybe they saw
it's cloudy and foggy and they can't see anything I don't know
the fog is getting thicker and thicker and we can literally see nothing now and I think
this is the right moment to end this vlog. I hope you enjoyed this video if you did don't
forget to give me a thumbs up and subscribe see you in the next video where we will be driving
to the north of Isle of Skye and we will see some of the main attractions on this island for now bye
and i think this is the right moment
