Traveltips 1: Barra, Outer Hebrides

Barra, Outer Hebrides, Scotland is a beautiful island, small enough to cycle around  in some hours, big enough to get a wee bit lost in the hills among sheep and ancient graves.

What to do: Cycling, clearwater kayaking, swimming for the brave, heaps of shellfish to grill, fun pub. people and music – also on Sundays. Boat trips to islands with more or less the same fate as St Kilda without being dramaqueenish about it. Seal- and whalewatching.How to get there?  From Oban, South Uist or flights from the mainland landing on a tidal beach – uahhhiii!
