We made it!
Tarbert: Scottish Gaelic Tairbeart
Today we awoke after a good nights rest, packed up our things so we can move into the staff house. It was nice to know if we wanted to cook our own food and things that we would be able to, washing and things would be left to us. From what we have learned today we get staff meals and little perks like free juice when we are at the hotel. The place that we moved into is less than a 5 min walk away, we share the house with other people that work at the hotel. We haven't had much time to get to know them, the house is fair sized and seems like no one is really ever around but then again we have only been here for a day.

Sunday the whole island is closed except for the Hotel Hebrides, so when we arrived for our free staff lunch it was booming. When we finally got some grub it was time to head out of there and explore our backyard and when I say backyard I mean rolling hills, there just aren't any houses around. Just outside our house we met a scruffy white hobo kitty with heterochromia (eyes different colours) whom we christened Rolo for his tendency to roll around a lot. This would later be further justified as it would turn out he had magical wilderness explorer powers, which he demonstrated by climbing to the top of the immediate hill with us and chilling out atop a big rock awhile. We left him up there to come back down and were then distracted by something on the next hill over that looked like him but which would, on further examination, turn out to be a sheep. This sheep was on a leash and had a little house and communicated with Jen, although only the sheep knows exactly what it was they talked about.
