Saturday 28th
First day on the island.


10:12. Luke and Alex drove all the way - they hadn't really slept yet at this point!

10:12. The Shearwater, our transport to the island.

10:17. Vera waiting on the quayside.

10:31. Loading up and getting ready.

10:35. Luke checking over the horde of camera equipment he's brought with him.

11:14. On the way now. A yacht following by our side.

11:15. Luke and Alex looking at the Luke's new digital camera.

11:16. Back towards the mainland.

11:17. Aha, is that Eigg in the distance? I think so!

11:17. The boat was quite full...

11:19. A rock covered in seals, including a few pups.

11:32. Chie making the sailing conditions look a lot worse than they actually were!

12:03. Aha, that's the Sgurr without a doubt.

12:05. Quite close to the island now.

12:06. Vera looking very naval.

12:07. The boat's docked now - and look who's waiting on the pier...

12:10. A view out across Eigg's harbour.

12:18. Lucy and the Shearwater.

12:20. The little boat that runs between the other ferry (the Caledonian MacBrayne) and Eigg.

12:34. Walking off towards where we're staying now. A glance back to the jetty including the island's shop and tearooms.

12:47. Further back along the bay.

13:44. In the Glebe now, our how for the week, and Dad prepares a "light snack" for lunch.

13:44. Vera enjoying a hearty bowl of soup.

16:06. Time for a walk. Here we are near Galmisdale.

16:06. Chie with Galmisdale behind her.

16:20. Some interesting lichen.

16:26. Near the lodge, a, errr, erm, not too sure what this is really!

16:37. Dad inside the Lodge.

16:48. Janie, Lucy and Martin relaxing on the bench outside the Lodge.

16:53. Chie and me take a look at the dam near the Lodge.

16:53. Pretty fierce!

20:36. After dinner I think, most of us sit outside and enjoy some Belgian cigars.

20:37. Martin and Lucy enjoying the evening air...

20:43. ...although it wasn't particularly warm!

20:45. Vera with possibly the first cigar she'd ever smoked.

21:32. The traditional game of dominoes to round the evening off.

22:02. Everyone looks pretty tired!
