Must see travel destination
I have been, but I shall go again : Isle of Skye was such a beautiful autumn treat, with the most unexpected colour settings and natures thrill and drama around every corner. Japan is a destination I am saving up for and looking forward to. Meanwhile I might go to Isle of Skye again to try out the character of another season there.
