| | | Skye here I come!
I can't believe it! My mum and dad have decided we're all going to Skye next year in May. I'm so excited I've always wanted to go to 'the Misty Isle'.
They've given me the job of finding a cottage so I'm just about to google and look for some searches. I'm so happy

erm? no? lol.....what course do you think im doing?
we went to a very wet and windy...well tornado ey to be precise kew gardens....does that count?
anyway i dont fly so south africa is not on my list. id rather go to Skye?
the whole big game thing does nothing for me im mostly into uk or at least european wildlife.
Plus on my travels i was lucky enough to tick off Tiger, Rhino, Elephant, Croc ( or alligators im never sure which?) was actually charged on two accasions by huge rhino (mother with baby) on a WALKING safari in India or nepal ( cant remember ) was the scariest thing in my life...cut to bits from elephant grass and in tears trying to get into a bloomin tree with a dirty great rucksack on my back...even have it on video lol |

The most worrying things was as we were in a national park and rhino's are protected the two guides were armed with nowt but a walking stick !!
Not only that....when the first rhino came hurtling out of the elephant grass charging at full speed less than 10 foot away the two "guides" ( Tiny little indian lads) nearly knocked me over as they legged it past me !!....yeah cheers.
as im running through the thick vegetation from the angry rhino im remembering the guides advice to look out not only for rhino , but the tigers that have killed a few villagers in the last week and also the sloth bears which scarily kill more people than tigers...
Scared? me?......i was.....*xxx%342)!!!**8* myself. |

 That sounds awful Dan! I would have been caking my pants with fright. Remind me never to go on one of them safaris!
P.S. Anyone know any good Skye websites for general information?

P.S. Anyone know any good Skye websites for general information? | My partner and I spent a week on Skye during October. Our first time. I can thoroughly recommend it. There are plenty of b and b's and self catering cottages. I would recommend the cottage that we stayed in, but its only for two people.
Take good walking boots and waterproofs! Most of the attractions are off the main road and into the hills.
May I suggest a day trip to Harris and Lewis as well. Definately worth it. We were so impressed that we've decided to honeymoon on Harris. | | | |
