It no longer seemed such a shame that the doctor had banned me from cycling when we saw that the Isle of Lewis was covered in unseasonal snow. Instead we took one of the tourist coaches heading from the port to our holiday destination.

In doing so we would see so much more of the island, including a fabulous folk bar not far from Stornoway. It was just a pity that the tour guide was not paying attention and accidentally left us behind in the bar.
