I've never come across anything as calming as being alone by a large natural body of water, so I ventured off to the Scottish west coast's Isle Of Skye in search of tranquility. I jumped off the bus at Kyle of Lochlash and walked the 7 kilometers to the island using the newly built Skye bridge. It was an off season sunday morning and it seemed everyone was still in bed so the water and beautiful surroudings belonged to me. It was pouring rain and my backpack weighed 45 pounds but I couldn't stop smiling.
So what's there to do Sunday on an island in the middle of a cold fall day? Pretty much nothing but appreciate the experience of being where you are and revelling in the surrounding natural wonders. I went for a long run along the water, hung out in a local pub watching rugby and observing local fanatics swear, cheer, and pump their fists at the television screen, and chatted with other like minded travellers over a few glasses of red wine.
