Islay

In around 8 hours I fly out from Islay to Heathrow (via Glasgow). The last two days have been an adventure, that's for sure. Far more interesting than the tour which was like travelling trapped behind glass. Highlights thus far include -

* Playing chicken with a pack of rams on a small road where I hadn't seen humans for like an hour

* Walking around with my backpack as Islay gets battered with rain from the tail end of a hurricaine.

* Trekking throuh beatbogs on my 8 mile walk back to my accomodation [more on that later]

* Seeing my plot of land.

I'm having some down time in London before I start the continental leg of the trip, so I'll probably post some photos and video and witty commentary (well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad).
