…We had counted on leaving the ferry by six,
and being off the Isle of Skye,
by seven.
*
We were late off the ferry
and did not cross back onto the mainland
until eight.
*
Besides which, having to be somewhere
at a certain time tends to go against the grain
when holidaying, that is work stuff!
*
Normally we have a nebulous plan
which leaves lots of room
for unscheduled stops
when the landscape calls.
*
That particular luxury had been withdrawn.
*
Even though we had only been on the isles
for a couple of days
there was also a lingering notion
that the sun would not set
leaving us enough light to drive through the night.
*
Not so!
