Last full day on the Hebrides

Wed 9th May
Today the wind dropped and we are back to sunny spells although the breeze is cool.
This is our last full day on the Outer Hebrides, we catch the ferry back to Skye tomorrow morning.
This morning we drove along the Golden Road, it's a single track road (like most here) and is so called because of the cost to construct it. It follows the cost going in and out of all in the inlets.
We went back to the beach at Losgaintir, where I finished my walk earlier in the week. We had a long walk on the beach, you can walk for miles there. We said earlier in the week this beach was reported to be the best in the UK, yesterday it said on the radio that some publication claimed it was one of the best in the world. They said it was like the beaches in Brazil, only the average temperature is 7 degrees C and there is no one on it, the last bit sounds fine to me.
Last nights wind brought some snow high up, some of Harris' higher mountains have snow on the summits today.
In the afternoon we went to another island connected by a road bridge, Scalpay.
