Travelling home from Tolsta

 Up at 4.45am.this morning to start my 13 hour journey at 5.30....

It went well...an hour's wait once foot passengers were aboard and a total of 1½ hours waiting for a series of 4 buses. It would have been half an hour less but bus number 3 was delayed by traffic getting out of Glasgow and for the last four miles into Ayr.




The Hebridean Isles on what may be her last day of sailing, assisting with the freight traffic.


The Mainland 
And a mural I hope to investigate next time!





Not many photos on the way home...just soaking it all in !!

Thanks for sharing your trip with us – – I really enjoyed seeing the amazing colors of the scenery. I bet you have lots to get on with now you’re home!

You seem to have had a very good time in Lewis. A 13 hour trip home is a long passage. The travel views are quite lovely.

Really a lot of waiting for rides! Glad you're back into your own routine now! But it was great to have a get-away time I'm sure.

Best time to be up, when everyone else is just rising.

Thank you for sharing your trip and experiences. I have always wanted so badly to visit Orkney. Unlikely now. I think your posts are as close as I ever get!

I was in the Western Isles... Orkney is part of the Northern Isles...I hope to get there before too long.
