Day plus two - Sunday

Lazy morning consisting of food, packing all my stuff and loading up the car. Headed over to No 13 for the last time to say goodbye to everyone, had quick brew before heading over to the hospital. Dropped my keys off at reception and popped into A&E to say goodbye to any staff I'd missed earlier in the week. Then left Stornoway for the last time!

Drive down to Tarbert only took 40mins, really quick on empty Sunday roads (everyone's in church!) Definitely going to miss the traffic (/lack of) and the roads up here. Arrived with plenty of time for the ferry - bought ticket for Alice before going on a quick walk around the harbour. Incredibly wet ground, and loads of black furry caterpillars wondering around.

Lots of caterpillars in the grass near the harbour - Fox Moth caterpillars?
The ferry was a bit late but managed to watch it navigating through the islands on the way to the harbour before we headed back to the car. Leaving the Outer Hebrides - not sure when I'll be back but definitely more to do up here. Top of the list is some climbing on Sron Ulladail, along with more surfing and heading down to the Uists and maybe even as far as Mingulay. So that's it - elective finished!

The ferry back to Skye - signalling the end of my elective!
