Skye’s My Limit
A venture around the beautiful island and its volatile weather
Skye is a must see portion of Scotland. It’s the northern western island that fronts the Atlantic Ocean. The island is inhabited by few people and after experiencing it, I can understand why. The weather was somewhat brutal and changing. Clouds move rapidly and the weather shifts momentarily, at least during my experience. Also there isn’t much other than you and nature, so it may take a ’survivor’ to actually find the rewards of living there. What you will find on Skye is a great appreciation for nature as cliffs confront the ocean. I found it very interesting how Skye is obviously damp, yet the botany on some portions of the island can look somewhat desert-like. Although people find time to spend weeks of their life on Skye, I was short of this time so renting a car with another macbackpacker, Adrian from Australia, was the best option to introduce me to this ‘talked-about’ place.
Welcome to my site and I hope you enjoy it. When I first travelled to Europe while I was in college I really had the time of my life seeing the many different types of cultures. The flavors of the food, the welcome of the people, the love shared across the world was so much greater than living in the United States ...
