There was still a spot of sleep in our eyes at 10am this morning, well being the last day of the month we unamiously agreed that it was excusable to take things a little easy! So after I nearly caused the great fire of Salen with a bacon sandwhich, we all got down to some quietish perusal of the deeping things in life followed by a quiet morning taken up largely by strolling down to the harbour front and taking in the overpowing smell radiating from the local fishmonger, which romour has will be dinner later in the week!
After fishfinger sandwhichs for lunch we got into our trunks and went searching for a beach! How hard could that be on an island? Well it is the Scottish Isles, and it appears that there is no word for sand in Gaelic! After nearly an hour of wonderful rocky beaches, we settled to a rocky beach in the south of the island, and with the tide out Jeff and I finally reached the sea with numerous cuts in the souls of our feet! It took some effort to convince Jeff but before long we were both up to our necks in the atlantic ocean! Perhaps we are stupid but after the nerve endings through our body became completely numb we were actually beginning to enjoy ourself! Harry remained pensive on the shore, recording dialogs on his voice recorder of our peril as if to replay to the townsfolk at some little memorial in the coming days!
After what felt like an eternity we emerged like medieval sea monsters feeling much better for ourselves! Harry was yet to be convinced but he does promise to dip at least his big pinky when we next go! We took the long road back through the mountains and forests with radio gaelic being a very appropriate backdrop to the trip (see video!)
So after a warm bath each we are now preparing to be wined and dined by harry, it has quite definitely been a day of huge risks, but perhaps one of great reward as well? Only time will tell!
Stop Press: Harry excelled in his sausages, with almost perfect cooking skills shown throughout, well done Harry!!
