Way to Isle of Skye and first day there

In the mid of march I’ve visited the Isle of Skye. I went there with some of the other students from Leipzig, that are here with me.

On the way to Skye we had a stop at Eilean Donan Castle:

From there we made our way to Portree, which is a small nice city on the westcoast of Skye.

On our first day on the isle of skye we went to another castle, but it was closed and one could not see it from along the coast unfortunately.

Thanks to geocaching we found another nice spot next to the castle. It is called “coral beach” and it is the first thing here I would really call a beach πŸ™‚

From there we headed to have a hike next to Waterstein Head on the westcoast of Skye. This part of the island has a phenomenal rocky and steep coast. Unfortunately we had not the best weather like for all the weekend. But here it was very predictable since we walked along the coast and saw the rain coming towards us πŸ˜‰

weather like hell

Here you can see the highest part of the coast. It was really impressive!

Last but not least: the track of our walk:

 

You will see new posts in the next few days here. I will add pictures and the track of Β the second day on Skye as well as some stuff from my trip in the spring break.
