The day began with breakfast and these were my fruits and yogurt
and orange juice
as Suzanne
admired my coffee
and the shared toast
before her breakfast
and mine arrived
at which point we drove along twisty roads and through beautiful scenery until we got to Mallaig
where we arrived at the ferry terminal
and luckily got one of the last spots on the boat across and so we left our car
and went upstairs to look at the views towards Skye
and on the boat itself
as Suzanne had her tea
and the ship headed forward
with our car in place
before we saw land ahead
and so drove on to the Kinloch lodge
where the reception was this nice whiskey bar
which seemed to cause Suzanne to think
before we were shown our room with its humongous bathroom
nice bedroom
and comfortable sitting room
and remarkable view
and so we sat down to use the apparatus
to make tea
and enjoy the biscuits.
Eventually we headed up to dinner where there was this letter from Winston Churchill to Lord Macdonald
and we were shown a variety of menus
before our drinks were served
along with our canapes
which blurred
and then came into focus
as we made our way to the dining room
and had tap water with ice cubes and cucumber
as the butters were presented (left was garlic and right was anchovies)
and this amazing soup was served
before our first courses arrived
followed by the bonus course
and the information about the scotch flights
together with the actual scotches
and the same for the wine flights
and then the main courses came so that we could enjoy the tasting of our flights
and this was followed by dessert which required several views
and then in the lounge, these petit fours
along with this dessert.
We were amazed as we made our way back at 10PM that the sky was bright
over the field which showed low tide
and hoped that the red sky boded well for tomorrow though the forecast suggested otherwise.
