'Skye' is the limit...

The dense clouds make love to the mountains, the golden rays of the sun provide the perfect mood lighting, the sea preening in all its glory, the trees gently sway to the music of the winds, the odd drizzle that further slows down time and the long and winding roads...each one leading you to discover a new story and experience ultimate bliss!

Ah! The sheer joy of driving around and discovering Isle of Skye. Even an unromantic like me can't help falling in love!

We have a mandatory check box for every holiday - to discover hidden gems where most tourists won't tread. Google will offer little help and they won't be the most searched or reviewed on Trip Advisor. Be it Tofino in British Columbia, Garmisch in Germany, Oia in Greece, Cebu in Philippines, Monnickendam in Holland, Unawatuna in Sri Lanka and now Skye in Scotland. Fortune continues to favour the brave (read us!)

After driving over 200 miles, I don't have a single picture to share...not because I am lazy (ok, that also), but no single frame can do justice to what the eyes have witnessed. Every nook and cranny was like a 3D postcard. Take me out for a drink and I will share a few tales. Make it two drinks, and I might even share the itinerary!
