Wednesday 25 June, the southern parts of Skye

The day starts nicely: it is 18 degrees and the sun is shining and we are first enjoying the view outside our house. But as soon as we get in the car at noon it starts to rain and the temperature quickly drops to 13 degrees. We have had it warmer in Scotland in March! Fortunately, we are not here for the weather (although I must admit we mention it very often this trip) and now we can also prove with photos that the sun does not always shine and that it really rains sometimes in Scotland.

In the evening I sit outside with a winter coat on, reading: the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. I like to read books years before they become a hype, or when I am late, years later when it is not such a hype anymore. It has nothing to do with a travel report, of course, but I have to admit that the book was a big disappointment to me. I have read quite a lot of books (both fiction and history books) about medieval history, but I know better fiction books with a similar conspiracy theory. Most of the information has been described by others much earlier and I do not understand that there has been such a hype: the influence of the media, of course, but I will not start on that, because then this travel story will suddenly get a whole different turn. Still a little disappointed I go to bed in our nice house.
