Today we arrived at St.Kilda. Our good luck on weather let us down today. Low fog and swelly conditions but not raining. We were able to go ashore. Last time we were fortunate with a brilliant sunny day. The walking trail had a lot of mud so it was better to walk on the grass. Since we were last here a lot of buildings have been erected and it does take away from the beauty of St. Kilda. However, I do understand they needed better facitlities for those doing research here. This is a remarkable site with stone houses and a very ancient breed of sheep.

After the visit to St. Kilda there was a zodiac cruise to see a colony of puffins. The seas had calmed down and the sun had started to appear. We thought this was a good sign as the highlight in my mind is Lunga where you can walk amongst the puffins. We were concerned the puffins may have already migrated.

We sailed away from this area and then went very close to two unique rock formations with a lot of birds.

Unfortunately the program I use to post pictures is not working. Kim is having the same issues so not sure there will be pictures for the remainder of the trip. I will try again tomorrow.
