Skye is the limit

Today we toured the Island of Skye, I finally made it to a distillery, Talliskers,

We then just drove around and saw the scenery. I have seen enough sheep to last me a life time. Fortunately I was able to keep Helen in the car so there are no missing baby sheep. Driving here was challenging. For about 20 miles I was on a one lane road that serviced two way traffic. You had to make sure one of you reached a small turnout in order for the other car to pass. I think if it hadn’t been for the sheep Helen would have freaked. For lunch we stopped in the city of Portree and went to a place called the The Café.

This place had the most interesting approach to customer service.  You walk in and the two gals working there look up at you and then go back to what they are doing. It turns out you are supposed to seat yourself.  Now there is no sign telling you that’s the approach, they just wait patiently for you to figure it out on your own.

Then the gal comes up to take our order and Helen says I haven’t looked at the men… she doesn’t even get to finish before the gal says okay and takes off. I have to yell at her to comeback and at least get our drink orders. She finally takes our order, they deliver the food and we eat. My Wild Boar burger (no bun) was good and Helen’s fish and chips were okay as well. Soooooo we finish our meal and wait for them to come back and clear the table on give us the check. Wrong again. When complete you are supposed to go to them and they will give you your check so you can pay the bill while you are standing there. Okay.

So now that our tummies are full, we  climb into the car and truly begin our tour of the Isle of Skye. In this instance I think pictures can do a way better job then I could in showing you what we saw. So without further rambling Skye:
