Western Isles - Day 6

Scott had a mishap while making breakfast today, and broke the coffee pot. So we tried to buy a new one in any likely looking shop we passed today.

We drove to Lochmaddy ferry terminal on North Uist to use their facilities, then back down to Benbecula to go for a walk. We parked just off the main road, then walked along to the causeway across to Flodaigh island.

We had a nice walk round the island to a point where we could see seals out on the rocks, where we had our lunch.



On the way back we passed some interesting old farm machinery, and a thatched cottage.



We drove into Balivanich village, where at the village hardware store we successfully found a replacement coffee pot.

We drove on to cross the causeway to Baleshare island, where we parked overnight next to the beach on the west side for £10 in their honesty box.

We went for a short walk down the beach and back, and later had pasta Bolognese for dinner.
