Since there was only a late ferry..

Took some pictures of isles , as usual, over last few days. The first Sound-of- Harris ferry on tuesday morning cancelled and the second sailing was already cancelled due to tidal variations, meaning a wait in Leverburgh until the 1640 sailing. Decided to visit the St Clements Church at Rodel, something on my 'to do' list for a long time. Beautiful and very interesting building. Also visited the Rodel Hotel - a very pleasant surprise. I thought it was closed and it didnt look very special from outside, but it was a different story completely on the inside - like finding a pearl in an oyster shell that looks like a stone. There was beautiful paintings on the walls by local artists (the Fultons), very engaging views of the harbour out the window, and even the plates and tableware were nice - almost impossible to look anywhere without finding something to please the eye. Fortunately, the food was also yummy and the service good. So there was a silver lining to the towering clouds of snow.
