Our next stop was the Butt of Lewis, which is the most northerly point on the Isle of Lewis. The beach is accessed by a little road way and we parked next to a van where surfers were donning serious wetsuits. I imagine the water at this beach would be incredibly cold! The waves were amazing and it was fun to revisit my high schools days in Florida and spend time watching surfers. There were a few differences though, they had fantastic waves and the weather was cold!
Kenzie was very happy to finally get to a beach on this day! I think she is going to really suffer when we get home to normal beaches again!

| Oh how she loves beaches! |
I am so glad Alan drives most of the time. I have no idea how I would cope with these roads!
Our next stop was the Butt of Lewis Lighthouse. It was a gorgeous location, windy but so picturesque. The cliffs were tremendous but I didn't stay out as long as Alan. I was getting hungry and cold! But still glad we came here!

After leaving Ness we planned to visit Gearrannen Blockhouse Village but we stopped along the way at an art gallery with a little coffee shop! After spending time on these islands, I realised I had not stopped at enough coffee shops! So Alan and I got the best carrot cake and also enjoyed looking at the beautiful artwork at
Morgen Gallery. In addition to the artwork and cake, Alan saw that book he was so impressed by again, is it a sign?
Saorsa - the Outer Hebrides

| There is that book again! |
And peat cuttings.....
When we left this fabulous area we intended to visit Gearrannen Blackhouse Village. The website said it closed at 5 but we got there at 4:30 and it was complete shut! People stay in the Blackhouses and have keys to get in the gate, but we could only peak over and see the houses. We will definitely be back the next day!
