It was March. Expectable for locals (but not for us :-)), the snow was at the 300m level, when we reached the Island of Skye. We found a cozy hostel which I would like to recommend here: http://www.skye-hostel.co.uk/ with breathtaking views on the mainland (if you wait until the clouds fly open). The landlord owns Eriskay Ponies. These are a special breed of ponies from the Island of Eriskay. Only a limited number of this breed exist worldwide. Believe me, it is a ferry tail feeling waking up and having these horses run in front of your window.
The weather got crazy as soon as we put away our things. The following two pictures show the view from the hostel's with just a few minute difference. When we woke up the following morning.. the snow was surrounding the hostel. We figured out that hiking on Skye will be an adventure :-)
